After reading Redhead by the Side of the Road from Ann Tyler back at the beginning of lockdown, I recently read what she considers to be her best novel – Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant. The story focusses on a family in Baltimore, Maryland who struggle through a marital breakup, jealousy love and loss. I think many readers would find some aspect that resonates with their own life. Like one of my other favourite authors – John Steinbeck, I found this story has stayed with me for a while. A great modern American novel.
