Three Days in June: A Novel

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. 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.
