The Beginner's Goodbye by Anne Tyler

Aaron is a thirty-something man who works in publishing. His wife dies suddenly when a tree falls on their house, and this book tells about his grieving process and how he learns to say goodbye.

This is the fifth Anne Tyler book I've read. I enjoy her writing because it's about ordinary people and ordinary life which is also extraordinary if we take the time to think about it. She also doesn't skirt around the mess that life inevitably brings.

I can always trust Anne Tyler for a good, solid, satisfying read. This one was no different.
