You know, I love Anne Tyler. She's a master of dialogue, and her characters are endearingly quirky. This book, though, was harder for me to get through. The first part is written from the point of view of Maggie, who reminds me of certain irritating, meddlesome relatives. Not until I got to her husband Ian's part did I really become captivated by this book. His description of one day he spent with his family at Baltimore's Harbor Place so perfectly captured what it's like simultaneously to love and to be smothered by one's family.

Found this at J & S Bean factory on Randolph Ave in St. Paul, MN (great coffe shop!). I was intrigued by the bookcrossing concept so I took the book. Unfortunately, I am not an Anne Tyler fan (although I did enjoy Accidental Tourist) and so I will be freeing the book without reading much of it. Don't know where yet...I'll keep you posted...
