From the incomparable Anne Tyler, a wise, gently humorous, and deeply compassionate novel about a schoolteacher, who has been forced to retire at sixty-one, coming to terms with the final phase of his life.
Liam Pennywell, who set out to be a philosopher and ended up teaching fifth grade, never much liked the job at that run-down private school, so early retirement doesn’t bother him. But he is troubled by his inability to remember anything about the first night that he moved into his new, spare, and efficient condominium on the outskirts of Baltimore. All he knows when he wakes up the next day in the hospital is that his head is sore and bandaged.
His effort to recover the moments of his life that have been stolen from him leads him on an unexpected detour. What he needs is someone who can do the remembering for him. What he gets is—well, something quite different.
We all know a Liam. In fact, there may be a little of Liam in each of us. Which is why Anne Tyler’s lovely novel resonates so deeply.

评分与我期望有出入，节奏稍慢，故事围绕老人与其前妻和子女，我不是十分感兴趣。但细节处理保持一贯的水平，睡前读一下还可以。依然无法摸清一些隐喻--诺亚不需要知道方向，因为整个世界已被淹没。象征老人的第二次人生不需要刻意导向？象征人不需要那么多，拥有的就是全部？
