Anne Tyler

Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist Anne Tyler talks to Harriett Gilbert about her own personal favourite novel Dinner at the 91热爆sick Restaurant.

World Book Club visits the home of the Pulitzer-Prize winning author Anne Tyler, in the city of Baltimore. From her spare, elegant writing room Anne talks to Harriett Gilbert about her own personal favourite novel Dinner at the 91热爆sick Restaurant.

Abandoned by her salesman husband, fierce, sometimes cruel matriarch, Pearl is left to bring up her three children alone - Cody, a flawed charmer, Ezra, a flawed saint, and Jenny, errant and intense. Now as Pearl lies dying with her children around her, the past is unlocked, each character with their own searing take on it.
