Anne Tyler has been a prolific writer and has many fans. This was my initial foray. Unfortunately, I feel it will be the last too. It has been said before that this is a story of ordinary people, living ordinary lives, but the writing makes it special. It was well written but, for me, that didn’t lift it out of being ordinary. I found it dull and most of the characters somewhat annoying.
