Noah's Compass

The day will come one day when there will be no more new Anne Tyler and the world will be a sadder place for it. But for now, we have Noah's Compass, Tyler's latest. Noah's Compass tells the story of Liam Pennywell, a man who has been asked to retire from teaching, divorced, widowed, somewhat estranged from his children, a man who goes through the motions and can't figure out any other way to live.
