What We're Reading: The Heart of Winter

This weekend I read Jonathan Evison's latest novel 'The Heart of Winter.' It is a lovely homage to the 70-year marriage between Ruth and Abe, college sweethearts whose story didn't exactly begin with love at first sight. It was the perfect post-holiday book for me, as early in the book their family is celebrating Christmas, and then the story progresses through the year, with flashbacks to the ups and downs of Abe and Ruth's life together.

What We're Reading: The Accidental Tourist

I don't know what kept me from reading Anne Tyler before but 'The Accidental Tourist' should have won a Pulitzer for her as well. Macon Leary is a man in his 40's that has recently lost his only child and soon discovers his marriage falling apart, as a result. There was something endearing about how he could have been anyone you meet on the street quietly suffering, stuck in his ways, and unwillingly to succumb to grief entirely.
