520    "Anne Tyler gives us a wise, haunting, and deeply moving 
       new novel in which she explores how a middle-aged man, 
       ripped apart by the death of his wife, is gradually 
       restored by her frequent appearances--in their house, on 
       the roadway, in the market. Crippled in his right arm and 
       leg, Aaron has spent his childhood fending off a sister 
       who wants to manage him. So when he meets Dorothy, a plain,
       outspoken, independent young woman, she is like a breath 
       of fresh air. Unhesitatingly, he marries her, and they 
       have a relatively happy, unremarkable marriage. But when a
       tree crashes into their house and Dorothy is killed, Aaron
       feels as though he has been erased forever. Only Dorothy's
       unexpected appearances from the dead help him to live in 
       the moment and to find some peace. Gradually he discovers,
       as he works in the family's vanity-publishing business, 
       turning out titles that presume to guide beginners through
       the trials of life, that maybe for this beginner there is 
       a way of saying goodbye. A beautiful, subtle exploration 
       of loss and recovery, pierced throughout with Anne Tyler's
       humor, wisdom, and always penetrating look at human 
       foibles"--Provided by publisher. 
520 3  Wanneer een man volkomen van de kaart is door de 
       plotselinge dood van zijn vrouw, keert zij terug naar de 
       aarde om hem te helpen zijn verlies een plaats te geven en
       er uiteindelijk vrede mee te hebben.
