Celestial Navigation




From the Pulitzer prize-winning Sunday Times bestseller Anne Tyler. Celestial Navigation is now re-jacketed along with the rest of Tyler’s books in striking new backlist style

Brought to you by Penguin.

Jeremy is a child-like, painfully shy batchelor who has never left home. He lives on the third floor of his mother's boarding house and spends his days cutting up coloured paper to make mosaic sculptures - until the day his mother dies and the beautiful Mary Tell arrives to turn his world upside down.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amateur Marriage and Digging to America.

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

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