A review by bookbirder
Redhead by the Side of the Road by Anne Tyler

emotional lighthearted reflective fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

I went through this book very quickly, which may be a combination of the short book with the excellent writing. Anyone who enjoyed Fredrik Backman's A Man Called Ove should enjoy the similarities of the protagonist, while anyone who doesn't love Backman's writing style should be impressed by Anne Tyler's.
