Through every family run memories which bind it together - despite everything. The Tulls of Baltimore are no exception. Abandoned by her salesman husband, Pearl is left to bring up her three children alone - Cody, a flawed devil, Ezra, a flawed saint, and Jenny, errant and passionate. Now as Pearl lies dying, stiffly encased in her pride and solitude, the past is unlocked and with it, secrets.

Review of 'Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I was about to give up on this book at about the half way mark as it was just trudging along, but I suddenly started to connect with the characters and liked the second half well enough. All over, it is probably my least favorite of Anne Tyler's works.
