I’m a huge Anne Tyler fan - never read any of her books I didn’t like. She writes about ordinary people doing ordinary jobs - all relatable. The Beginner's Goodbye grabbed at my heart from page 1. It’s so heart wrenching. Aaron is such a good person - so sweet - such an …more innocent that you want to protect him from the pain he’s feeling. There isn’t a mean bone in his body and he’s surrounded with good people - in particular his sister who has always been fiercely protective of him. Perhaps I should have waited till I turned the last page before writing this revue but I had to jump right in! I love it. Read it. (less)
