The Pecks are marvelous-literally marvelous, by turns heartbreaking and hilarious. It is not possible for me to convey adequately the magic of this book. There is not a wrong word or a false emotion. It is about growing up, mating and breaking away. She is the best of magicians, a born artist. She has created an epic.

Only 1 left in stock (more on the way). Though I love Anne Tyler's style of writing where she peels back the layers of her characters fascade, for me, I love it when she stays more linear, as opposed to all the long back-tracking, and gets on with the storyline, as in Ladder of Years and Accidental Tourist. Still, her writing style is very thought provoking.
