Ladder of Years by Anne Tyler

4.0

Following up with another Anne Tyler book. This one, published in 1995, tells of Delia who walks away during a East Coast beach vacation with her family of a doctor-husband, two college-age children and one still in high school, and two sisters, one single and one divorced with young twins. Delia ends up in a small town and begins a new freeer, simpler, and almost impersonal life, living in a boarding house and getting a job in a lawyer's office, then as a housekeeper for a divorced teacher and his son. Over the next year and some months, there are reflections on life, marriage, aging, and families. Very Anne Tyler.
