A review by mjanssen
Ladder of Years by Anne Tyler

3.0

I liked this enough, but not as much as Digging to America, the only other Anne Tyler book I've read. I wasn't as taken with the main character, and it wasn't clear enough to me just how her trajectory throughout the book changed her or her attitude toward her life. But I did love, as always, Tyler's eye for detail, her descriptions of people and her evocations of places. Her world is fully inhabitable.
