( ) "Homesick Restaurant" is the name of Ezra's restaurant, and it is Ezra's fervent wish to bring his family together for a dinner at the restaurant. He never succeeded when his mother, Pearl, was alive. It's only at her death that the family managed to have a meal together, with the estranged father. How ironic that is. It should not be taken as an indictment of Pearl's parenting, which left scars on each of the three children. Rather, it represents closure to the children, who never knew why their father left. Another family portrait gem by Anne Tyler. Reason Read: Pulitzer prize nominee, Pulitzer group read June 2023. ROOT This is probably my least favorite Tyler. The family story is so messed up, pure dysfunction. I couldn't really like any of the characters. Ezra and Luke are probably the best of the lot. Had this on my shelf since 2014 and it was time to get it read.
Every other year or so since 1964, loyal readers pick up their new Anne Tyler novel as they would buy a favored brand of sensible shoe. Each of her nine books is solidly constructed from authentic and durable materials. Yet traditional style and comfort do not necessarily mean dullness. Tyler's characters have character: quirks, odd angles of vision, colorful mean streaks and harmonic longings. They usually live in ordinary settings, like Baltimore, the author's current home, and do not seem to have been overly influenced by the 7 o'clock news. An issue in a Tyler novel is likely to mean a new child; a cause, the reason behind a malfunction in an appliance or a marriage.
