and regularly schedules splendid family dinner reunions at his eating place (they give the book its quirky-perfect title) - occasions that disintegrate, usually, into fearful rows. It was funny, in her old age, to look back and see for how short a period her nest had NOT been empty.Some had their trim painted in astonishing colors, assertively, like people with their chins thrust out. sliced out of its context for quotation - so tightly fashioned is this tale - without giving away, as they say, a narrative climax. Some might say that her books are boring because they focus more on the characters than they do on action, but I disagree: Anne Tyler's books are amazing exactly because they focus on the characters.
