| Maggie is harum-scarum, impetuous, soft; Ira is competent, patient, infallible. They have been married for kventy-eight years. On a hot summer day they arc driving to Deer Lick, Pennsylvania, ninety miles from their home in Baltimore,to the funeral of Maggie s best friend s husband. And during the course of that journey, with its several unexpected detours--into the lives of old friends and grown children, into memories of the past and attempts to rearrange the prcsent--Anne Tyler shows us all there is to know about a marriage: the expectations, the disappointments; the way children can create storms in a family; tire way that wife and husband can fall in love all over again; the way that evcrything--and nothing-- changes. |
