NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A new Anne Tyler novel destined to be an instant classic: a socially awkward mother of the bride navigates the days before and after her daughter's wedding. "What a treat." -- Washington Post "Simply exquisite." --Liane Moriarty "Nobody understands human nature better than Tyler. And nobody understands the complexities of love the way she does." -- Boston Globe " Three Days in June is like reading a hug." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune Gail Baines is having a bad day. To start, she loses her job--or quits, depending on whom you ask. Tomorrow her daughter, Debbie, is getting married, and she hasn't even been invited to the spa day organized by the mother of the groom. Then, Gail's ex-husband, Max, arrives unannounced on her doorstep, carrying a cat, without a place to stay, and without even a suit. But the true crisis lands when Debbie shares with her parents a secret she has just learned about her husband to be. It will not only throw the wedding into question but also stir up Gail and Max's past. Told with deep sensitivity and a tart sense of humor, full of the joys and heartbreaks of love and marriage and family life, Three Days in June is a triumph, and gives us the perennially bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer at the height of her powers. "Spot on and often very funny. . . . Nobody understands human nature--the yearning, the envy, the sadness, the regret--better than Tyler. And nobody understands the complexities of love the way she does.-- "Boston Globe "Deeply compassionate and very witty. . . . The bad news: Anne Tyler can't possibly write forever. The good news: Her latest novel proves that she's still inimitable and still providing fresh perspectives on ordinary people." "This is storytelling at its very best.-- "Rachel Joyce, author of Miss Benson's Beetle" "Tyler lights up the space between people, and shows how it feels to be on the outside looking in. This is her superpower.-- "New York Times "Another delightfully assured exploration of the way sorrow and joy meld together in the crucible of family life. . . . [It] seems to defy the conventions of romantic comedy until it finally, gloriously gives in. . . . What a treat to listen in on this banter. . . . Few writers can weave the threads of dialogue with such casual brilliance as Tyler. . . . She and her shelf of celebrated novels sit confidently at the end of a circuitous line that winds back through Jane Austen's novels to Shakespeare's comedies." "As always, it's sublimely written and beautifully observed.-- "Good Housekeeping" "Three Days in June is a valentine to readers. It's funny and touching. . . . There isn't a wrong move in it. It's the literary equivalent of a box of chocolates with no duds. . . . If you're looking for a deeply humane writer abounding in wit and wisdom, read Anne Tyler.-- " Christian Science Monitor" "Tyler's trademark witticisms and creation of vulnerable characters shows us just how precious life can be.-- "Minnesota Monthly" "With flairs for ingenuity and dexterity, she creates a tapestry of family issues. . . . In the words of singer Celine Dion, perhaps for Gail 'it's all coming back for me now.' As it will for Tyler's devoted admirers.-- "Richmond Times-Dispatch" "Written in Anne Tyler's warm and wonderful style, this is a heart-warming story you'll fall in love with. . . . Witty, thoughtful and brilliantly character-driven.-- "Woman and Home" Three Days in June is like reading a hug. [Tyler] embraces us from the very first sentence. . . . You'll want to stay in the warmth of her storytelling. Let it hug you, too, and don't be afraid to give it a snuggle back. . . . Tyler's pacing is incomparable.-- "Minneapolis Star Tribune" " Three Days in June is like reading a hug." -- "Minneapolis Star Tribune" "Deeply compassionate and very witty...Her latest novel proves that she's still inimitable and still providing fresh perspectives on ordinary people." -- "Los Angeles Times" "Her characters so alive they could be sitting next to you telling you what happened to them last Tuesday--and the ending is a beauty." -- "The Observer (London)" "What makes this audiobook a true pleasure is the terrific narration by J. Smith-Cameron...She's endlessly funny and yet exposes the delicate, all-too-real humanity with which Tyler shapes her endearing oddballs." -- "Kirkus Reviews (starred audio review)" A wise, wonderful book. . . . Three Days in June takes two days to read, but it envelops you just the same, her characters so alive they could be sitting next to you telling you what happened to them last Tuesday--and the ending is a beauty.-- "The Observer (London) " Anne Tyler remains my favourite author in the world. I've adored everything she's ever written. Three Days in June is, of course, simply exquisite.-- "Liane Moriarty" Anne Tyler's novels plumb the everyday to make magic. . . .
