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.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Funny, heart-hammering, wise...An extremely beautiful book." --The New York Times "A Book that should join those few that every literate person will have to read." --The Boston Globe Abandoned by her wanderlusting husband, stoic Pearl raised her three children on her own. Now grown, the siblings are inextricably linked by their memories--some painful--which hold them together despite their differences. Hardened by life's disappointments, wealthy, charismatic Cody has turned cruel and envious. Thrice-married Jenny is errant and passionate. And Ezra, the flawed saint of the family, who stayed at home to look after his mother, runs a restaurant where he cooks what other people are homesick for, stubbornly yearning for the perfect family he never had. Now gathered during a time of loss, they will reluctantly unlock the shared secrets of their past and discover if what binds them together is stronger than what tears them apart. Soulful and redemptive--full of heartbreak and hope--this portrait of a family will remind you why Anne Tyler is one of the most beloved writers working today. "[In Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant Tyler] has arrived at a new level of power." --John Updike, The New Yorker "Marvelous, astringent, hilarious, [and] strewn with the banana peels of love." --Cosmopolitan No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Pearl, una mujer de ochenta y cinco años, no quiere caminar hacia la muerte sin recordar antes los momentos importantes de su vida, empezando por aquella noche de domingo de 1944 en que su marido puso cuatro trapos en una maleta y le contó que se iba, sin explicar dónde, sin decir si y cuándo volvería. A la mañana siguiente, faltaba alguien en la mesa del desayuno, pero la mujer no se atrevió a contar la verdad a sus tres hijos; lo que hizo fue buscarse un trabajo y aprender a disimular, educando a Cody, Jenny y Ezra como mejor supo, olvidándose a menudo de regalarles caricias y buenas palabras.
Los años han ido pasando, y ahora Cody es un hombre obsesionado por acumular afecto y dinero que no le pertenecen, Jenny busca una felicidad improbable en los hombres que la acompañan, y Ezra es el único que parece disfrutar de la vida entre las cuatro paredes de su restaurante. Es allí donde la familia se reúne, pero siempre hay un sitio vacío a la espera de que alguien llegue o vuelva... Alrededor de ese vacío, de ese plato abandonado, Anne Tyler ha construido un mundo donde cada lector encontrará su propia historia.
