The Tin Can Tree by Anne Tyler
To read a novel by Anne Tyler is to fall in love. --PEOPLE In this novel filled with emotional power (The New York Times), in the small town of Larksville, the Pike family is hopelessly out of step with the daily rhythms of life. Mrs. Pike seldom speaks, while Mr. Pike maintains a forced stoicism. Only their ten-year-old, Simon, seems able to acknowledge that their world has changed. He just doesn't understand why. The Pikes may choose to stand still, to hide from an unnameable past, but the strange shroud over their home cannot be contained. Soon it's inching its way toward their neighbors, where brothers Ansel and James will have to confront their own dark secrets if they want to bring their neighborhood back out into the light.Anne Tyler grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, after being born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1941. Her eleventh novel, Breathing Lessons, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988, and this is her twentieth. She is an American Academy of Arts and Letters member. She resides in the city of Baltimore, Maryland.
