Back When We Were Grownups by Anne Tyler

rating:
Man, I'm kind of ashamed to be popping back up on the Goodreads after a hiatus with this book, which I chose among others free from a friend who moved back to Australia last fall. I think I had Annie Dillard in my head instead of Anne Tyler. Still haven't read Annie Dillard, but I'm guessing it's a big difference. Biiiiig difference.
But this is turning out to be a guilty pleasure. Woman has complicated family, is widowed, life begins anew in middle age. It's seeming more and more like I won't wander the lurid valleys of l-o-v-e again until middle age, so I'm appreciating the sweet optimism.
