I finished this book with a smile on my face - Anne Tyler never ceases to entertain. What I love about her books is the fluid drawing out of interesting people, her characters are fleshed out into genuine characters - it's like walking into a scene peopled with friends and family of your own.I did have one beef (or two) with the novel. I was hoping that Anne would focus more on the relationship between Opal and Barnaby, for there seemed to be no satisfactory closure there, or no real hint of what was to come of their relation to one another. Opal was a fascinating character! As was Barnaby, of course - focussing on these two would have been the real clincher in this book. Perhaps a sequel?Also, the ending left me confused . . . was he finally turning to Martine? Was his last line a realization of some sort, a discardment of Sophia? (Good choice: Sophia was a dullard)Read this book! I also recommend "Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant." :)
