ellenfgo 's review for:

Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler

5.0

---

I am prejudiced towards Anne Tyler for a couple reasons: her quirky characters are very familiar to me, her locations are nearby, and her sentence structure is brilliant. This book received some negative reviews because the story is small. It's supposed to be small, though, to reflect Micah's world. Micah lives very near my son's house in Baltimore, so I was able to traverse his stomping grounds in my mind despite being in Covid quarantine.
