|summary=Ostensibly a book about a day in the lives of married couple Maggie and Ira Moran that's actually so much more and better than it sounds. Well observed, funny and touching but be warned: you may end up wanting to throttle Maggie (in a good way).

This Pulitzer Prize winning novel revolves around 24 hours in the lives of Maggie and Ira Moran as they attend a friend's funeral and make a detour on the way home. As the couple spend the day together they share events from their past that put their present in context. I know this seems a somewhat sparse structure for a story but don't be put off. Somewhere between [[:Category:Anne Tyler|Anne Tyler's]] idea and its execution, something very good happens.
