So Anne Tyler has produced one of the most memorable
characters in this short book. Micah is
a self-employed IT help service and likes to be organised. He drives carefully imagining that there is a
Traffic God looking on approvingly.
A few things happen that throw Micah off. His 'girlfriend' acts strangely. A boy turns up at his door wondering if he is
his dad. And then there's the redhead …
I won't spoil that for you.
There are moments of humour – such as when Micah has
dinner with his chaotic family.
There are also moments of bitter reflection.
I haven't heard of this one so appreciate the update.
