Summary
Through every family run memories that bind it together - despite everything. The Tulls of Baltimore are no exception. Abandoned by her salesman husband, Pearl is left to bring up her three children alone - Cody, a flawed devil; Ezra, a flawed saint; and Jenny, errant and passionate. Now as Pearl lies dying, stiffly encased in her pride and solitude, the past is unlocked and with it, secrets.
A classic novel from one of America's greatest living novelists, now available as an audiobook.

Very good
This is a beautifully written tale of family dysfunction and survival. My only criticism is that is over long and the narrative could have been more concise. The narration was very good.

The Narrator and story is wonderful
The story is very enjoyable and I thoroughly enjoyed the pace and characters.
Suzanne Toren’s narration always draws me in and I always look forward to hearing her read

Heartbreaking, a must-read
Beautiful, astute, brilliant. The narrator's voice is too slow but when sped up it's perfect

Classic Anne Tyler
Tightly controlled narrative covering the adult life of Pearl and her three children. Typical of Anne Tyler who embroiders the family detail until we have the full picture without anything suddenly breaking the narrative. Very enjoyable.

Slow start but really enjoyed it!
Anne Tyler is my favourite author. This has great observations as you’d expect from her but for me it isn’t my favourite book of hers. It didn’t quite have the magic of say Back When We Were Grownups. Still left me wishing I’d not finished it

Wonderfully written
Characters are gradually unpicked, like getting to know a stranger. Wonderfully written.
Narration is awful. We don’t need voices like we are being read a children’s story. Completely spoils a fantastic novel.

A masterpiece!
The characters of this book seemed alive to me. I am so sad I will not be meeting them again. I can't fault it, the simple but perfectly honed prose, the absolutely perfect characterisation, the development of the family in time and the very gentle dénouement. I loved it!!! ( I had given up on my three previous downloads so I am a harsh critic!) Recommend highly
