Anne Tyler provides us a wise, haunting, and deeply moving new novel where she explores how a middle-aged man, torn aside by the fatality of his wife, is little by little restored by her recurrent appearances: in their home, on the roadway, in the market. Crippled in his right arm and leg, Aaron spent his years as a child fending off a sister who wants to take care of him. So when he fits Dorothy, an ordinary, outspoken, self-dependent young girl, she is such as a breath of oxygen. Unhesitatingly he marries her, and they have a relatively happy, unremarkable marriage. However when a tree accidents to their house and Dorothy is killed, Aaron feels as if he has been erased permanently. Only Dorothy's unpredicted performances from the lifeless help him to reside in the moment also to find some calmness. Steadily he discovers, as he works in the family's vanity-publishing business, turning out titles that presume to steer beginners through the studies of life, that maybe because of this beginner there's a way of stating goodbye. A beautiful, refined exploration of damage and recovery, pierced throughout with Anne Tyler's humor, intelligence, and always-penetrating take a look at human foibles.
