I don't often find good books in Oprah's book club emails--they tend to be to full of sex or angst or abuse or???, but this one is a marvel. How I missed it I don't know--I LOVE Anne Tyler. And, with C.J. Critt reading it my commute is a dream this week!! Can totally relate to Delia wanting to change her life!

This book is another Anne Tyler classic!! It's a cute story about a mother (also a mother-in-law) who tries to fix the lives of those she loves the most.

Another quirky fun Ann Tyler read.
