No one does family like Anne Tyler - and the Battistas might be her most appealing yet...the new novel from the bestselling author of A Spool of Blue Thread
Anne Tyler was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1941 and grew up
in Raleigh, North Carolina. Her bestselling novels include
Breathing Lessons, The Accidental Tourist, Dinner at the Homesick
Restaurant, Ladder of Years, Back When We Were Grown-ups, Digging
to America, A Spool of Blue Thread, Clock Dance and Redhead by the
Side of the Road.
In 1989 she won the Pulitzer Prize; in 1994 she was nominated by
Roddy Doyle and Nick Hornby as 'the greatest novelist writing in
English'; and in 2012 she received the Sunday Times Award for
Literary Excellence. In 2015 A Spool of Blue Thread was shortlisted
for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction and the Booker Prize; and
in 2020 Redhead by the Side of the Road was longlisted for the
Booker Prize.
A joy to experience.
*Literary Review*
A new Anne Tyler book is always a treat. The terrifically talented
author is the latest to tackle Shakespeare…and our favourite so
far.
*Good Housekeeping*
I loved Kate and Pyotr and the way they discover the oversized,
tender, irreverent relationship that fits them... It is joyful
It's knockabout comedy at its best, genuinely laugh-out-loud funny
and, indeed, may be her funniest book to date

The worst wedding in history ... vintage Anne Tyler
