A review by rebeccarpatterson
Digging to America by Anne Tyler

3.0

3.5/5. I’m a big Anne Tyler fan, but this one was a slow burner for me. I was bored in parts, and couldn’t stop reading at other times. I spent the first half of the book really annoyed at the characters because of their micro-aggression and colour-blindness. Arguably, this is due to Anne’s brilliant way of observing and writing about people and relationships. She is just brilliant at this. And this book provides astute observations on themes of otherness, racism, prejudice, love and what it means to belong.
