Anne Tyler does it again with her extraordinary ability to create offbeat characters that the reader comes to care deeply about. In this book, there are individual characters and there is the character of the Tull Family - an icon each of the family members sees in a different way. Tyler writes of the sometimes tragic life circumstances of each of the three Tull children with her usual eye for both the dramatic and humorous. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves home-cooking and their own lovable, dysfunctional family. Una família trista, una noveŀla trista, amb l'abandó com a tema de fons, la necessitat de sobreviure i cada personatge ho fa a la seva manera: amb rencor i gelosia; amb un cert autisme; cremant relacions; descarregant les ires. A la família protagonista li costa portar-se com a tal, malgrat els esforços, i el menjador del restaurant Nostàlgia és testimoni d'aquests fracassos, i del final. La mare, quan mora, ho aconsegueix! En diversos moments, m'ha semblat que la noveŀla estava feta de retalls d'una història. M'ha agradat perquè aquesta autora té no-se-què que la fa original i tendra, però en altres he disfrutat més.
Every other year or so since 1964, loyal readers pick up their new Anne Tyler novel as they would buy a favored brand of sensible shoe. Each of her nine books is solidly constructed from authentic and durable materials. Yet traditional style and comfort do not necessarily mean dullness. Tyler's characters have character: quirks, odd angles of vision, colorful mean streaks and harmonic longings. They usually live in ordinary settings, like Baltimore, the author's current home, and do not seem to have been overly influenced by the 7 o'clock news. An issue in a Tyler novel is likely to mean a new child; a cause, the reason behind a malfunction in an appliance or a marriage.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Funny, heart-hammering, wise...An extremely beautiful book." --The New York Times "A Book that should join those few that every literate person will have to read." --The Boston Globe Abandoned by her wanderlusting husband, stoic Pearl raised her three children on her own. Now grown, the siblings are inextricably linked by their memories--some painful--which hold them together despite their differences. Hardened by life's disappointments, wealthy, charismatic Cody has turned cruel and envious. Thrice-married Jenny is errant and passionate. And Ezra, the flawed saint of the family, who stayed at home to look after his mother, runs a restaurant where he cooks what other people are homesick for, stubbornly yearning for the perfect family he never had. Now gathered during a time of loss, they will reluctantly unlock the shared secrets of their past and discover if what binds them together is stronger than what tears them apart. Soulful and redemptive--full of heartbreak and hope--this portrait of a family will remind you why Anne Tyler is one of the most beloved writers working today. "[In Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant Tyler] has arrived at a new level of power." --John Updike, The New Yorker "Marvelous, astringent, hilarious, [and] strewn with the banana peels of love." --Cosmopolitan No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
