Three Days in June: A Novel
by Anne Tyler
Having bad days (11/25/2024)
There is nothing like a stressful event (like say a daughter's wedding for example) that can awaken both past and present memories, anxious thoughts and hidden secrets that we might wish to keep buried. This is what is happening to Gail Baines as she struggles through time with her thoughts in these "three days in June." I loved all the characters. They were well-developed, truly wonderful, funny and relatable. This book was an easy, fast read and I enjoyed every minute of it. I think it would be a great book for book clubs, due to its relatable content, as who hasn't had bad days. It provided me with a respite from my own anxious thoughts, just to be able to sit down in my favorite chair with a nice cup of tea and to be transported into a place that offers a look at family life, with all its quirkiness, a bit of messiness, and a connectedness.
