Sinossi
Mancano poche ore al matrimonio di sua figlia, ma le cose non vanno per niente bene per Gail Baines. Innanzitutto al lavoro non ottiene la promozione che sperava e le viene rinfacciato di essere poco empatica. Come se non bastasse, l’ex marito Max si presenta a casa sua. Porta con sé una gatta soriana e tanto senso dell’umorismo, ma gli mancano un vestito per la cerimonia e soprattutto un posto dove dormire. Mentre Gail cerca di restare lucida e di capire che cosa sta succedendo nella sua vita, la figlia Debbie scopre che il futuro sposo nasconde un segreto che potrebbe farle cambiare idea. All’alba del grande giorno, Max sembra più interessato al pranzo del ricevimento che al possibile annullamento del matrimonio. Gail invece è seriamente preoccupata. Riuscirà la giovane coppia a superare la crisi? E che impatto avrà la loro decisione sul tormentato rapporto tra Gail e Max?
Concentrata nell’arco di tre giorni, questa storia agrodolce di tradimenti, veri e presunti, di inciampi e di nuovi inizi, scorre leggera e ci mostra con ironia come accettare i sussulti della vita possa portare momenti di felicità inaspettata.

is it possible to say that a book was basically about nothing, but you still enjoyed it? that would be the case with this! quirky main character + a few laugh out loud moments
But then when the anger fades, the sadness comes right back again the same as ever. Oh my word! Anne Tyler, where have you been all my life? On the surface, this seems like such a simple story. We follow Gail Baines on the eve of her daughter's wedding, where everything is set to go off without a
I can hardly wait for 2025 after reading one amazing book after another! I have to say, this has become my favorite Anne Tyler book. When I finished the last chapter, my eyes welled up, and I sighed with happiness as a wide smile spread across my face. What a delight! I finally found something genui Leggi tutto
How have I never read Tyler?!?! What have I been missing?! Gail is having a bad day -actually a questionable 3. She quits her job on the spot (she’s 61) and as mother of the bride in two days, she is ill prepared. Her ex- who irritates her- has brought her a cat that she doesn’t want and is suddenly s Leggi tutto
This is definitely meant to be a simple story but still packed with the realness of human nature. I loved how eccentric all the characters were. They had me cracking up several times. Unfortunately, my love for this book started off way stronger than how I felt by the end. It slowly dwindled until I Leggi tutto
I’ve been reading Anne Tyler for many years . I’ve read over 20 of her novels and I keep on reading them. That says a lot about a writer who keeps me interested in her storytelling, her characters with her keen sense of human nature . This novel is short, sweet, funny , and touching. As in many of T Leggi tutto
This novel tells the story of Gail, the MOB, during 3 days surrounding her daughter’s wedding. Gail feels like an outsider at her only daughter’s wedding, she learns she’s being passed over at work, her daughter shares a disturbing revelation, and her ex shows up at her doorstep with a foster cat.

Gail Baines quit her job today. She didn't clear her desk or collect her personal belongings. She simply said goodbye to her boss after a brief discussion, walked out the front door, and drove straight home. It wasn't the ideal way to begin the weekend of her daughter Debbie's wedding. The big day i Leggi tutto
Trying to get this read in - three days in June. 😅🫠
