[It is] Beautiful, funny, real, absorbing - Anne Tyler is the writer who made me want to write.
Nick Hornby, UK Press Syndication
The best of Tyler's many excellent books
Daily Telegraph THE 100 GREATEST NOVELS OF ALL TIME
I do think the world would probably be a better place if everyone read Anne Tyler's Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, but to be honest, anything by Tyler will do. She's such a brilliantly empathetic writer - there's no 'them' and 'us' in Tyler's world - and she often writes from the perspective of the kind of people who you would walk past and barely notice in the street . . . Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant is a proper family saga filled with beady but compassionate takes on all of the unforgettable characters. Reading Tyler helps people to become better people, and I really fully believe that

New York Times Book Review
A terrific writer... She's changed my perception on life
Anna Chancellor
A classic of contemporary Americana... variously funny and horrifying and finally, quietly, terribly moving
Los Angeles Times

Newsweek
The New Yorker
