Easy to read but not her best, 20 Jun 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Patchwork Planet (Paperback)

Yet again Anne Tyler delivers a great book. The characters she paints appear to be so strange that at first you think that no-one on earth like this could exist. But She gives them so much description that we start seeing bits of ourselves in them. The book I would recommend first time readers to start with is The Clock Winder - the stubborn old woman, the girl who never turns down an invitation and the two brothers who fall in love with her.

For me the great delight of the book was that immediately these characters were completely real!
