Anne Tyler Again
I had previously read many Tyler novels and was surprised to see her recent fiction! I had read several of her earlier books so knew her style of writing and I was not disappointed. Her theme of an older woman and recently divorced on the three days around her only daughter's wedding were well conceived. Tyler stayed on this theme, but introduced her ex husband, Max, who brought some alternatives to their relationship and then there was the cat for comical relief!! If you are a cat lover, you will certainly like this book!

Three Days in June
We are invited to the wedding of Debbie, only child of Gail and ex husband Max, and Patrick. It will be a very low key, if lovely, wedding. The groom's parents are affluent and assume most of the planning and financial end. Gail had just had an interview with her supervisor at the private school she is an administrator at and was told in essence, maybe you should look for another career. Right, at age 61. Poor timing. Then Max shows up at her doorstep, expecting to stay with her for the wedding events. He even has a cat in tow. They manage to live amicably for the time and she even becomes fond of the cat. Debbie has a minor crisis pre-wedding, but it comes off without a hitch. It was a delight to see a long-divorced couple so amiable, so able to talk about anything and everything. Tyler fans will be delighted; me not so much. I'm happy to have had the opportunity to review this novel.
