About this product

Product Information

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning author, a "funny, heart-hammering, wise" ( The New York Times) portrait of a family that will remind you why "to read a novel by Anne Tyler is to fall in love" (PEOPLE). Abandoned by her wanderlusting husband, stoic Pearl raised her three children on her own. Now grown, the siblings are inextricably linked by their memories--some painful--which hold them together despite their differences. Hardened by life's disappointments, wealthy, charismatic Cody has turned cruel and envious. Thrice-married Jenny is errant and passionate. And Ezra, the flawed saint of the family, who stayed at home to look after his mother, runs a restaurant where he cooks what other people are homesick for, stubbornly yearning for the perfect family he never had. Now gathered during a time of loss, they will reluctantly unlock the shared secrets of their past and discover if what binds them together is stronger than what tears them apart. "[In Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant Tyler] has arrived at a new level of power." --John Updike, The New Yorker "Marvelous, astringent, hilarious, [and] strewn with the banana peels of love." -- Cosmopolitan

  • Can't we all just get along?

    I like Anne Tyler's writing style. This particular title was recommended to me by a friend of mine who was going through a 'Creative Writing' course and had just finished reading it. The title itself is intriging...I do appreciate novels in which they talk about all aspects of the family dynamics. It starts with Pearl, the mother and wife of 3 children living in Baltimore. One feels her pain as she experiences her husband walking out the door, never to return. How does one person hold the family together?? With each chapter, it focuses on one person's memories of the past. The oldest child, so bitter. The middle child, so angry. And then...there was the youngest child Ezra. The most loving and forgiving of all. One feels Ezra's frustration as he tries to no avail, to have a peaceful, ...

    I purchased Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant because I am a fan of Anne Tyler. I enjoy her writing style and this is one of her personally stated favorite books. It was one of her first works so it was hard to find. Ebay provided an excellent avenue to locate this particular edition. Thank You Ebay!!!
