Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant

This book is definitely well-written and drew me in. But I did not enjoy reading it, mostly because the characters were all so unlikeable. There wasn't one character among this conflicted family that I thought, aha, this is the person I can latch on to. The readability kept me going, and I also was kind of holding on to hope that someone would make a turnaround, but in general, just bleh.

My first Anne Tyler book, which I read in about 1980. She has been one of my favorite authors ever since. I picked up all of her prior books and read them, and now I make it a point to read all her new books as they are published.
