<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>An early triumph from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Breathing Lessons and Saint Maybe. Duncan Peck is a restless man, constantly moving his family. His wife Justine is a fortune teller. Her grandfather is on a quest for the brother he lost in 1912. Soon, all three of them will journey back to the family's deepest roots. Previous publisher: Avon paperback.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning author brings us a novel that is "funny and lyric and true (<i>The New Yorker).</i></b> <p/> Through the syncopated rhythms of the ragtime era to the thumping, rocking beats of the 1970s, generations of Pecks have maintained a determined steadiness. Adamantly middle class--Peck-proud, as the family slogan goes--they are quick to sweep under the rug those members who do not live up to their standards. Maybe that's why Caleb Peck took off with his violincello as a boy? Sixty years later, his brother Daniel is still wondering. No longer willing to live without answers, he turns to his daughter-in-law, Justine, another Peck family eccentric. A studied tarot card reader, Justine comes across one message over and over in the cards: change is coming. With Daniel's help, she's hoping to find the courage to embrace whatever happens next. <p/> An unlikely pair struggling against a stifling family, Daniel and Justine believe they'll find freedom in just the right mix of magic, music, and mystery.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Reading [Tyler], one is constantly being startled by such moments: gestures, words, wrinkles of thought and feeling that are at once revelatory and exactly right." --<i>The New York Times<br></i><br> "Funny and lyric and true, exquisite in its details and ambitious in its design." --John Updike<i>, The New Yorker</i> <p/>An astounding confidence, depth and range --<i>The Boston Globe</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ANNE TYLER was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1941 and grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina.
