I had to give you my view of this book after reading the other review which was so at odds with my feelings! I thought this was a great book, an interesting and absorbing read, - yes the bones of the story could be thought fantastical but then so are the events of many "everyday" lives. Morgan is totally believable and his relationship with the young family grows and matures - not predictably but that's the joy of this book, you're not quite sure what might happen next. The story was engrossing - I came online to buy it for my sisters for christmas as I was so taken with it.
I've read a lot of Anne Tyler and always liked her style and subject matter, and this is one of the best.

Anne Tyler is definitely one of the greatest contemporary American writers with a wonderful way with words and an unparallelled ability to portray fully rounded characters, people with whom you can usually identify. So I approached this book with my usual eager anticipation but I'm afraid it failed to deliver, for me anyway. This time I found I couldn't really believe in the characters of Morgan and Emily. Only Bonnie, as the disdained wife, rang true.
If you are new to Anne Tyler I would recommend you start with one of her other books.

Eccentric and extraordinary, Morgan lives an unreal existence in a real world. His life and passing is an almost purposeless irrelevance on most other people's lives. Morgan's influence on at least one though is profound and meaningful in a laughable enchanting way.

Armistead Maupin's maiden aunt
Anne Tyler writes like Armistead Maupin's maiden aunt; not quite like a disapproving mother, but someone out of touch enough not to know what it is they're approving off. Read more

A disappointment.
Being a big fan of Anne Tylers, and having read and enjoyed almost all of her books, I'm afraid it pains me to say that Morgans Passing really isn't up to the usual standard I've... Read more
