Ooh! A new Anne Tyler book! I popped into the library last week to return some books, and I decided to browse the new fiction shelf. What a treat to find - Three Days in June by Anne Tyler is a very short delightful tale about second chances.
Friday - Gail Banes might have lost her job, or maybe just quit it. She wasn't invited to pre-wedding spa day. And her ex-husband, Max, shows up...with a cat...and needs to stay for the weekend.
Saturday - daughter, Debbie, is getting married. All fine and dandy, except some secrets have popped out. Gail thinks it should be a deal breaker. Both Debbie and Max sorta say, "Hmm. You, of all people, can not judge this situation."
Debbie does indeed say, "I do." The wedding is pleasant, even though the new in-laws are almost "too much", in Gail's opinion.
Sunday - well, is the cat staying...is Max leaving?
Typical Anne Tyler writing. Humor. Humanity. She smoothly depicts a family and all its foibles.
I truly enjoyed this witty book.
