  Some similar themes to Amateur Marriage, but a marvellous read, well written, witty - excellent. Anne Tyler always manages to leave you confused about which characters to tlike and which to dislike - this often changes as you read.

  Only the second title I have read by this author, the previous one was 'Back When were Grown-ups' I enjoyed both very much and look forward to reading more of Anne Tyler's work. This is about two sets of adoptive parents and the relationship that forms between them, after they both adopt Korean babies on the same day, the only thing they had in common, The novel describes their 'ordinary lives' in a compassionate and humurous narrative, covering family dynamics from all angles and a perfect ending!
  I already have the address for fifna in the Netherlands so am going to go the post office with it tomorrow, in the hope that it will get there before Christmas.

  a bore

  subject is great - two families adopt Korean kids at the same time and then...stay in touch. but after that, so what? no interest whatsoever. Dissapointing. Hadn't read Anne Tyler in a long time probably won't try again
