How does a man addicted to routine - a man who flosses his teeth before love-making - cope with the chaos of everyday life? With the loss of his son, the departure of his wife and the arrival of Muriel, a dog trainer from the Meow-Bow dog clinic, Macon's attempts at ordinary life are tragically and comically undone.
William Hope reads Anne Tyler's poignant and deliciously entertaining novel, winner of the the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction.
