'If Anne Tyler isnt the best writer in the world, who is?' BBC R4 WOMAN'S HOUR'Read her for the eccentric characters, the pitch-perfect dialogue, the humour and the tiny ordinary moments so exquisitely described they bring tears to your eyes' LIANE MORIARTY, DAILY MAILAn instant classic about love, marriage and second chances from the beloved, bestselling sage of the human heart, Anne TylerGail Baines is having a bad day. To start with, she loses her job - or quits, depending who you ask. And then her ex-husband Max turns up at her door expecting to stay for their daughters wedding. He hasnt even brought a suit. Instead, he brings with him memories, a calm maturity, a shared sense of humour - and a cat looking for a new home. Over the course of the three busy days of the wedding, the past is stirred up for Gail, even as the future - in the shape of the happy couple Debbie and Kenneth - is already underway. But `happy takes many forms, and sometimes the younger generation has much to teach the older about secrets, acceptance and taking the rough with the smooth. Told with deep sensitivity and a tart sense of humour, full of the joys and heartbreaks of love and marriage and family life, Three Days in June is a feast of a novel to savour in a single sitting.
