Anne Tyler won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel Breathing Lessons. Maggie is impetuous and direct, Ira is thorough and unhurried. Maggie does stupid things. Ira has no such sin. They've been married for twenty-eight years. Their life is ordinary, quiet and... boring. One unhappy day they go on a road trip - to attend the funeral of an old friend. But suddenly Maggie hears her former sister-in-law announce live on the radio that she's getting married again. And a trip to the funeral turns into an expedition to save her son's marriage. Touching, ironic, funny and bitter, this chronicle of a day in the life of Maggie and Ira is a deep dive into the very essence of family relationships, a comedy crossed with high drama. "Breathing Lessons" is a soft-spoken masterpiece by one of today's best contemporary writers.
