Sinossi
Si chiama Ben Joe Hawkes, è nato nel North Carolina e per tutta la vita è stato circondato da donne: una madre imperscrutabile, una nonna irriducibile e sei sorelle. Se n'è andato a New York per studiare e per cercare la sua strada, ma un giorno decide di ritornare nella sua piccola città. Ritrova così il suo mondo di donne, ma molte cose sono cambiate. Il passato ritorna, con tutti i suoi ricordi. Ma ritorna anche l'amore verso la timida Shelley, con la quale potrebbe decidere di ripartire per New York.

Wow. Anne Tyler's First Book, Published When She Was 22, Is Pretty Great! The Harper Lee "Mocking Bird" (sic) reference makes absolutely no sense. But I think the illustration is based on what Tyler looked like in 1964. *** This is Anne Tyler’s very first novel, written in 1964 when she was – gulp – o Leggi tutto
This is Anne Tyler's first novel. The other day I read her latest, Clock Dance . Bookends! Only 22 when it was published, she got a rave review by Orville Prescott in the New York Times. Not bad for a young woman's first novel in 1964. I learned that she studied writing with Reynolds Price in colleg Leggi tutto
A beautiful stack of Anne Tyler novels have been staring reproachfully down at me from my living room shelf since I received them as a gift. I thought I might as well start from the beginning and quickly looked her up on Wikipedia to get a list. I was surprised to find that Tyler had "disowned" her
My mother (a babyboomer) introduced me to Tyler's books when I was 15. I've devoured them ever since. I read them before my marriage, while I was married, during my separation, and after my divorce. I've read some of her books 3 & 4 times. Screw those long winded writers of yesteryear that my privat Leggi tutto
It’s not a coincidence that I chose Anne Tyler to begin my year with, but I realised later that I picked her first book to be my first of 2021. If Morning Ever Comes, what a surprise of a novel! Of course I expected to like it, but it blew me away quite unexpectedly. If I could address Anne directly Leggi tutto
Tyler and I did not get off to a good start *cough* Redhead by the Side of the Road *cough.* But this book right here was a pleasant surprise. Tyler was 22 when this was published (!!!!) and I must say this is an impressive debut. Here, Tyler is really good at dialogue and family interactions. Every Leggi tutto
"'Every place I go,' he said, 'I miss another place.'" Reading Anne Tyler's first novel is like reading a book by someone who might become Anne Tyler: quirky families; affable, slightly neurotic heroes who, despite their faults, you really hope will make some good decisions; leaving home and going ba Leggi tutto
