About this book
Jeremy Pauling, a shy and reclusive artist, lives in a Baltimore boarding house and makes delicate collages while keeping the wider world at a careful distance. After his mother's death, his connection with boarder Mary Tell and her child offers the possibility of a different life. Told through shifting perspectives, Anne Tyler's novel examines the gap between how people see themselves and how others understand them, exploring love, dependence, creativity and the fragile accommodations of family life.
