Praise for Celestial Navigation

A rich, revolutionary novel...she writes with virtuosity and perfect confidence, insight and compassion

The Times

Anne Tyler's talent is to make extraordinary characters entirely credible... So unfaltering is their story that every word is convincing

Sunday Times

Tyler has created two characters at once entirely original and entirely convincing...a quiet but immensely strong novel, to admire and treasure
