Saint Maybe by Anne Tyler
Can Ian ever atone for his part in the tragedy that his family are struggling to survive? Compassionate, perceptive with underlying humour, all the characters from Ian to his parents, the three children he has inherited, the endearing members of the Church of the Second Chance and the inept foreign students next door are brought to three-dimensional life. Is family a haven or a curse, can any of us survive it? Vintage Tyler.
