Review by: Barbie
An okay summer read, not the happy, keep me distracted from the world, kind of book I was looking for. The characters are mostly mid-life and a bit unconventional. Perhaps they really are the what every day people want to be like and do the things they fantasize about. Delia, the 40 year old main character, walks out on her families' beach vacation, telling no one why she is leaving or where she is going. I just can't understand how anyone could do that to their children, even if they might think they would like to.

Anne Tyler is a wonderful writer, and all her books are worth time and effort. This one is especially insightful because the main character does what many women(I think) would like to do-walk away and start over.
