Book Report: THE
BEGINNER’S GOODBYE by Anne Tyler
I think all of Anne Tyler books takes place in or near
Baltimore. I feel I could drive down the
Bay Tunnel and know my way around pretty good.
Even go to my favorite crab house that I have never been to.
The story is about a guy, who recently lost his wife who was
a doctor. The house was hit by a storm
and caved in on her. I read the book
because I heard his late wife kept coming back from the dead making appearances. It was nothing like I thought. She came back several times but it mostly to
give her late husband advice or suggestions.
And I wasn’t actually sure it was really her or his imagination. It was not like an episode of TOPPER, like I
was hoping for.
The book was about a brother and sister who inherited a
publishing company from their parents.
The kind of books they mostly published was sort of like “PHOTOGRAPHY
FOR DUMMIES” or other FOR DUMMIES books. That is how the title came about.
Like other Anne Tyler books it was a people and interaction
study. Very interesting and good.
The Picture is of the TOPPER sitcom back in the 50s.
