The beginning of the book showed promise -- Morgan lets people think he is a doctor and assists in the emergency delivery of a baby -- but it took a little bit too long to get going and I had to put it down at about page 40. Normally, I love Anne Tyler's books, but this one just didn't do it for me. ( )Her best one, I think. This book was so well written, I couldn't put it down. I love Tyler's quirky, eccentric charactors and Morgan was no exception. Indeed you had a hard time liking him. I could have forgiven him anything had he come to his senses. This was the first and only book I literally threw across the room upon finishing! This 7th of Anne Tyler's books, although as well-written as any other, was probably the most frustrating. Morgan the main character, is so eccentric as to be oblivious to the pain he can cause others in his life, to the point of being unfaithful to and leaving his ever-patient wife who must be a saint. A story with an unsatisfying ending. no reviews | add a review
