This book is about Liam, who is a somewhat sad figure who is laid off from his job, moves into a much smaller apartment, and wakes up in the hospital the next morning with no memory of what happened. He struggles to try to remember what happened and meets a woman in the process. The story is pretty sad about a sad man, several sad women, and unhappy relationships. But Anne Tyler keeps you turning pages and at the end I felt satisfied that Liam was fixing relationships and building new ones and moving on with his life.
