Three Days in June
Three Days in June | Anne Tyler
11 posts | 7 read | 12 to read
"Gail Baines is long divorced from her husband, Max, and not especially close to her grown daughter, Debbie. Today is the day before Debbie's wedding. To start, Gail loses her job-or quits, depending who you ask. Then, Max arrives unannounced on Gail's doorstep, carrying a cat, without a place to stay and without even a suit in which to walk their daughter down the aisle. But the true crisis lands when Debbie shares with her parents a secret she has just learned about her husband-to-be. It will not only throw the wedding itself into question but also send Gail back into her past and how her own relationship fell apart. Told with deep sensitivity and a tart sense of humor, full of the joys and heartbreaks of love and marriage and family life, Three Days in June is a triumph, and gives us the perennially bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer at the height of her powers"--

A sweet story of forgiveness and letting go of perfection. I really enjoyed this.

What could be a saccharine tale in the hands of another author turned into a character study full of wit and quiet wisdom from the pen of Anne Tyler. The premise doesn‘t appeal to me: divorced parents are forced together during three days in June for the wedding of their daughter. But I loved it! Tyler has a way of elevating the mundane into meaningful and potent observations of human nature. I need to read the backlist. Also recommend: duck lamp!

Karisa Adorable lamp! 😊 3d
squirrelbrain Love the lamp! I wonder if the book will be on the WP longlist? 3d
youneverarrived The lamp - my daughter would love that lol. I need to check if my library has this book. 3d

Chelsea.Poole @squirrelbrain I have noticed this mentioned in several prediction videos. Of course, I‘d be happy if it made the list! I can never predict these things, lol 2d
Chelsea.Poole @amyg I hope you‘ll like it as much as I did. 2d
Chelsea.Poole @youneverarrived @Karisa they are perfect to read by! I got each of my kids one for Christmas with the secret plan to steal them for reading purposes occasionally 😉 2d
TheKidUpstairs @squirrelbrain I'm thinking we'll see either Tyler or Strout on the list this year 1d

Today is a federal holiday, so I‘m taking the day to rest and read. Here‘s the short stack, plus listening to Sarah Moss‘s memoir “My Good Bright Wolf”.
Banana oatmeal cookies are baking in the oven, there‘s snow outside, the coffee is strong, and the fire is burning.

FashionableObserver Ummm…I‘m heading over for a cookie! LOL! Seriously though, enjoy your day off! ♥️🍪📚 1w

A Spool of Blue Thread made me a fan. Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant was brilliant. So when Anne Tyler publishes a new book, I read it! Hopefully I‘ll get started this weekend.

This was an ARC about a wedding that spanned over three days. The book was enjoyable, but I found that the character development and storyline could have been more detailed and developed. The book left me with a feeling of wanting more in the way of a deeper storyline.
I would like to thank Netgalley and Knoph Publishing for providing me an advance copy of this book in exchange for my review.

New Anne Tyler out Feb 11.25
This is a slim read, and a bit boring.

Tyler is all about telling not showing, and telling second by second. Our MC Gail is very dull, you learn about her own marriage as she is attending her daughter's wedding, secrets abound but none of them are captivating and all of the resolutions feel both inevitable and lackluster.
I think this is for people who like a slice of life and love the 90s writing style 3/5

willaful She's been slipping for me for awhile now. I'll probably give it a read though. 3mo
