Tommy's review of A Patchwork Planet
A Patchwork Planet by Anne Tyler
True to the star descriptions for Goodreads, I "liked" it. There's nothing extraordinary here - just Anne Tyler being Anne Tyler. She has a bunch of company - a cluster of female writers - who are successfully capturing family and romantic life in America in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. She's good at it. It's what separates her from me, the reader - her writing skills, so well broken in over the years, spin a web of characters, settings, and happenings so familiar that the plot hardly matters. That's what good writers do. That said, I've read better of hers.
