Sinossi
Aaron Woolcott, trentacinquenne titolare di una piccola casa editrice specializzata in guide per principianti, è rimasto vedovo da poco e sta cercando di rimettere in piedi la sua vita e la sua casa. In senso figurato e proprio; infatti la moglie Dorothy è morta in un incidente che ha dell'incredibile: un albero è crollato sulla veranda e l'ha travolta. Trasferitosi a vivere della sorella durante i lavori di ristrutturazione, ad Aaron, all'improvviso, riappare Dorothy. Sono incontri sporadici, brevi, ma gli danno un motivo per andare avanti, e anche per chiarire con lei alcuni punti rimasti in sospeso della loro non facile unione.

DON'T JUDGE THIS BOOK BY ITS COVERS (review is below): What's up with the covers for Anne Tyler's The Beginner's Goodbye ? On the front of my edition, there's a gently lit photo of a slim young woman wearing a soft white blouse reading a book on a bed. It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS NOVEL. Leggi tutto
In a novel that is as inspiring and uplifting as it is sad and deeply touching, Anne Tyler approaches loss and grief from the perspective of Aaron Woolcott. When he was a toddler, Aaron experienced a flu that left him physically handicapped on the right side of his body. He was so young that he adap Leggi tutto
After reading some of the reviews, I felt a bit off-kilter, as if I'm seeing something that wasn't intended by the author. Nevertheless, here's my impression: this story is about a man who, because of his physical limitations, resists closeness with other people, to the point that he marries a woman Leggi tutto
A few positives But not my favorite Anne Tyler book. I’ve owned the hard copy for years - thought it might be a light uplifting read with some Anne Tyler substance. Aaron’s wife died. And the story begins. Aron’s marriage was broken.... details unravel.... Another “okay” “alright”, book.. but nothing Leggi tutto
