Author: Anne Tyler

I’m not sure where this recommendation came from but I’ve always liked Tyler’s books and who could resist that title.

Micah is a middle-aged man who doesn’t like change. He has a girlfriend (although he, personally, refuses to call anyone in their late thirties a girlfriend), is the manager of the apartment building he lives in and operates his own computer services business. A young man turns up at his doorstep thinking Micah might be his dad and from that point on things start to change.

I particularly liked the chapter where Micah has dinner with his sisters and their families. It sounded like a good old McKnight get-together – chaos but a happy scene.
