NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

â€œFunny, heart-hammering, wiseâ€¦An extremely beautiful book.â€ â€”The New York Times

â€œA Book that should join those few that every literate person will have to read.â€ â€”The Boston Globe

Abandoned by her wanderlusting husband, stoic Pearl raised her three children on her own. Now grown, the siblings are inextricably linked by their memoriesâ€”some painful--which hold them together despite their differences. Hardened by lifeâ€™s disappointments, wealthy, charismatic Cody has turned cruel and envious. Thrice-married Jenny is errant and passionate. And Ezra, the flawed saint of the family, who stayed at home to look after his mother, runs a restaurant where he cooks what other people are homesick for, stubbornly yearning for the perfect family he never had. Now gathered during a time of loss, they will reluctantly unlock the shared secrets of their past and discover if what binds them together is stronger than what tears them apart.
Soulful and redemptiveâ€”full of heartbreak and hopeâ€”this portrait of a family will remind you why Anne Tyler is one of the most beloved writers working today.

â€œ[In Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant Tyler] has arrived at a new level of power.â€ â€”John Updike, The New Yorker
