Three Days in June by Anne Tyler
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love Anne Tyler. I’ve loved every single novel she wrote and this one is no exception. Her stories are often quiet and on the surface, about “nothing” but a slice of life. This one is no exception. It’s about three days in Gail’s life. We see her losing her job, we see her ex coming to stay with her and taking over her space and even bringing his cat along, we see her daughter preparing to get married and finding out things she didn’t know. We see Gail hoping and wishing the best for her daughter and not knowing how to navigate any of this.
The thing about Tyler’s novels is that they feel real and true and quiet in the best way. Her writing is beautiful to me and her characters are so real, they could easily jump out of the book. I love reading her stories. I love these slices of life. I love these people who are so flawed and yet try so hard.
with gratitude to Knopf and netgalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
