Noah's Compass by Anne Tyler

Noah's Compass by Anne Tyler

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anne Tyler brings us a gripping, page-turner of a novel (Houston Chronicle) that is an offbeat delight (O: The Oprah Magazine).

Liam Pennywell, who set out to be a philosopher and ended up teaching fifth grade, never much liked the job at that run-down private school, so early retirement doesn't bother him. But he is troubled by his inability to remember anything about the first night that he moved into his new and spare condominium on the outskirts of Baltimore.

All he knows when he wakes up the next day in the hospital is that his head is sore and bandaged. His effort to recover the moments of his life that have been stolen from him leads him on an unexpected detour.

What he needs is someone who can do the remembering for him. What he gets is . . . well, something quite different.

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.
