Ladder of Years by Anne Tyler

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I read this book several years ago and was entranced by it. It was a satisfying read which helped me struggle through a difficult time of new beginnings in my life. While reading it I found myself wishing that I had read it 10 years earlier, before it was published, so that I might have earlier gleaned the wisdom of its pages, and I have often thought of Delia, the main character, by whom I was both puzzled and impressed. Tyler has a lyrical prose style and has just published her 9th book, The Beginner's Goodbye.
