Anne Tyler
Wie geht's?
Anne Tyler is sneaky. I've read quite a few of her books and while there are obvious similarities (same setting of Baltimore, same genre and area of interest - personal dynamics and family dramas), each one creates its own universe.
I'll often approach one thinking its subject matter is going to be a bit dry, but really quickly her brilliant writing takes over, and I become fully absorbed and committed.
The latest novel to do this is Back When We Were Grownups. It centres on the choices made and not made - the different pathways we each choose and navigate. The what ifs.
Life is about choices. At any given potential deviation in the path, I have made what I think is the best choice. Sometimes that works out, sometimes it doesn't. Either way, I have needed to accept the fate of that particular choice.
Often the agonising over decisions is pointless. The maple leaf will land where it lands.
Love and peace - Wozza
