Back When We Were Grownups: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle)

Back When We Were Grownups: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle) Review

“A WONDERFUL NOVEL . . . Tyler’s eye and ear for familial give and take is unerring, her humanity irresistible. You’ll want to turn back to the first chapter the moment you finish the last.”
–People (Page-Turner of the Week)

“STUNNING . . . ‘Once upon a time,’ the story begins, ‘there was a woman who discovered she had turned into the wrong person.’ . . . With Rebecca Davitch, Tyler has created a character who is brave enough to look back on her life and to imagine herself making different kinds of choices. Brave enough to wonder what honesty looks like, whether there is ever really a single distillation of self that is unshakable and true. . . . Anne Tyler has a talent for spinning out characters . . . who go on living long after their stories end.”
–The Baltimore Sun

“Her characters endear themselves to the reader with their candor and their wit and their simple decency. . . . The charm of an Anne Tyler novel lies in the clarity of her prose and the wisdom of her observations.”
–The Washington Post Book World

“RESEMBLES JANE AUSTEN’S PERSUASION IN THAT IT’S A NOVEL ABOUT SECOND CHANCES . . . The tension that keeps the narrative alive is our desire for Rebecca to get the recognition and respect that we know she deserves from her family, and from herself. It’s always good to have a character to root for.”
–San Jose Mercury News

“Maybe there’s something glorious to be said, after all, for companionship, common cause, and sanctuary. And what there is to say, Anne Tyler has been saying for decades, with gravity and grace.”
–The New York Times Book Review

Does This Mean I'm a Grown-up? (Justice for All)

Does This Mean I'm a Grown-up? (Justice for All) Review

Remember when you were young and you figured at some point when you were the same age as your parents, life would suddenly start to make sense, you'd find the meaning and purpose that your parents seemed to have, and everything would just magically click into place? Everyone gets to a point in young adulthood when they realize it's just not like that, and we still feel like tortured teenagers only with more complicated issues like raising children, having a grown-up job, life insurance policies, and marriage. We also reflect on our younger days when we couldn't wait to grow up, and wish that just for a second, our biggest challenge could be completing our math homework or figuring out if that cute boy in homeroom really does, in fact, like us.

This collection of essays spans approximately six years. Enjoy the witty, sarcastic humorous descriptions of day-to-day realistic "grown-up" issues.
