'Every scene breathes with intimacy.Lifelikeness almost lifts the characters off the page. Ladder of Years ruefully contemplates the unhaltable passage of time.But, scintillating with joie de vivre, it also offers an intensely appealing way of passing it' Peter Kemp, Sunday Times

'Anne Tyler's novels have three qualities that make them special: they are funny, they are sad, they are intelligent'
