this book with its WONDERFUL characters, would have scored a 9 if the ending hadn't disappointed me so much.

Picked up at the Meet-up last Tuesday. Thanks groobs! :-)

This book is just "calling home" to say hello and let you know that it's still alive and well! :)

I would like to sincerely apologise for holding onto this books so long! My health has been quite bad over the past few years and I have been unable to concentrate enough to read novels and retain story lines. So, rather than hold this book back from travelling further, I am releasing it into BibliophileOz's hands and she'll take the book to a meet-up or release it in a suitable location. Thank you for understanding! :)

Gratefully received from aussie-rose.....I'm adding to my TBR pile.

I have had Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant in my bookshelf for many, many, many years and I tried to read The Accidental Tourist but this is the first Anne Tyler I have read.

I can relate to Cordelia's escape from her life. I didn't feel she had grown or changed that much by the end of the book so not sure how different the future will be but I guess she had a fresh perspective.

I'm taking this to the June MeetUp.

For reading by our relaxing station workers
