Great book! The stories are—as you would expect—funny, sad, exasperating, amazing, eye-rolling, heartbreaking, surprising, and not surprising. I love the TV show, Scrubs, and this book is similar in vibe.

I hadn’t read any Anne Tyler novels in years; my husband and I used to read all of her works. Then we both started grad school and stopped reading 99% of non-school reading.

I read this decades ago when it came out but thought I would try this series again. I don’t recall how many I read back then, but I also don’t recall much about the books, so they are like new books to me.

Another phenomenal book by this author. Anyone interested in true crime should read this as well as her other books.

The research done is mind-blowing. The scene setting—giving us a real sense of post-WWII London—puts us there. And the author does no
