Description

From the inimitable Anne Tyler, a rich and compelling novel in regards to a mismatched marriage—and its consequences, spanning three generations.They looked such as the ideal couple—young, good looking, designed for one another. As soon as Pauline, a stranger to the Polish Eastern Avenue neighborhood of Baltimore (though she lived only twenty minutes away), walked into his mother’s supermarket, Michael was smitten. And in heat of World-War II fervor, they're propelled right into a hasty wedding. However they never must have married.Pauline, impulsive, impractical, tumbles hit-or-miss through life; Michael, plodding, cautious, judgmental, proceeds deliberately.
