About this listen

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.

I can't believe I have only just discovered this author. I loved every minute of this book, which is all about the characters, their relationships and differing perceptions of the same events. Faultlessly narrated.

A wonderful book!

Anne Tyler's characters always stay with me for a long time after I've reached the end of the novel. The plots are compact and focused on just a few characters.You don't expect a large canvas with high drama, intrigue or great mysteries. But you do get immersed in the characters' lives and really want to know what happens to them. Anne Tyler is excellent at depicting characters who are a little bit different, sometimes living on the fringes, and she gives us an insight into how they cope with life in a very gentle and supportive manner. There are always a few surprises along the way. She excels at creating a rich evocation of the era like a time-traveller's diary would read. And best of all there is always a very satisfying ending. I'm always delighted when there's a new novel of hers to readl

This particular audio reading is superb with a steadfast and clear evocation of each character, paced beautifully.



Always memorable stories and characters

Tyler explores the dynamics of family from each family member's point of view. well rounded characters some more deserving of sympathy than others but then it depends how you see the world and what experiences impact you the most. A thought provoking read.

Took me some time to understand the title Perhaps food is what binds people together but it is not enough in itself but often there is someone who cares enough to try to find the missing ingredient..
