A review by hectaizani
Digging to America by Anne Tyler

4.0

My second Anne Tyler book this year, I enjoyed this one as much as I did The Amateur Marriage. I like the way the author does her characters and descriptions. For some reason, I thought it was going to be about the two girls adopted from Korea, and was surprised when the focus was on the extended adoptive families. I found all the information about the different cultures fascinating, but did think some of it was very stereotypical, and in the case of Maryam, very repetitive as she kept going on and on about how different Iranians are from Americans.
