Redhead by the Side of the Road
Описание и характеристики
From the beloved Anne Tyler, a sparkling new novel--an instant New York Times bestseller--about misperception, second chances, and the sometimes elusive power of human connection.
Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. A self-employed tech expert, superintendent of his Baltimore apartment building, cautious to a fault behind the steering wheel, he seems content leading a steady, circumscribed life.
But one day his routines are blown apart when his woman friend (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a girlfriend) tells him shes facing eviction, and a teenager shows up at Micahs door claiming to be his son. These surprises, and the ways they throw Micahs meticulously organized life off-kilter, risk changing him forever.
An intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who finds those around him just out of reach, and a funny, joyful, deeply compassionate story about seeing the world through new eyes, Redhead by the Side of the Road is a triumph, filled with Anne Tylers signature wit and gimlet-eyed observation.
"Tylers novels are always worth scooping up--but especially this gently amusing soother, right now." --NPR
