Saint Maybe

"Saint Maybe is vintage Tyler, delicately stamped, like a watermark, with her intimate and unmistakable voice... Ian Bedloe sits near the top of Ms. Tyler's fine list of heroes... An arresting novel." - The New York Times Book Review

"Compulsively readable, realistic, funny, touching." - The Times

"Saint Maybe shows Anne Tyler at the peak of her power - a real slice of middle America, blessed with equal amounts of humour, pathos and compassion that will ensure heartfelt devotion from all her readers." - Time Out

"A brilliant writer of emotionally sophisticated novels, funny, tragic, wise." - Lynne Truss

"One of the truest writers alive." - Sunday Times

"Anne Tyler, who is blessedly prolific and graced with an effortless-seeming talent at describing whole rafts of intricately individualized people, might be described as a domestic novelist, one of that great line descending from Jane Austen... Her eye is kindly, wise and versatile (an eye that you would want on your jury if you ever had to stand trial), and after going at each new set of characters with authorial eagerness and an exuberant tumble of details, she tends to arrive at a set of conclusions about them that is a sort of golden mean." - Edward Hoagland, The New York Times

"Someone once said all great writers are comic writers. Among living Americans, Tyler is exhibit A." - Amazon
