A review by ashmagoffin
Three Days in June by Anne Tyler

5.0

 My first Anne Tyler was an absolute delight. This book had an addictive tone, it followed somewhat commonplace events with observational wit. I cannot describe how hilarious I found this book, the dry humour, the eccentric characters which felt like they leapt off the page, the dysfunctional relationships felt recognisable and the sheer drama that could only surround a wedding. This book was excellently paced, my edition sitting at under 170 pages which makes for a delightful afternoon read. I loved reading Gail's observations of the world and the people around her, also the things left unsaid, particularly a mother's love for her daughter that is not often expressed. I knew this book was American but it felt like distinctively English in a strange way, probably due to the dry humour. This book would also make a superb play. 

I adored this, I cannot wait to pick up more Anne Tyler.
