#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERÂ

â€œIncandescent, heartbreaking, exhilaratingâ€¦One cannot reasonably expect fiction to be much better than this.â€ â€”The Washington Post

â€œA body of fiction of major dimensionsâ€¦Poignantâ€¦funnyâ€¦[Tyler] has never been stronger.â€ â€”The New York Times

In this irresistible novel, Anne Tyler explores the slippery alchemy of attracting opposites, and the struggle to rebuild oneâ€™s life after unspeakable tragedy. Travel writer Macon Leary hates travel, adventure, surprises, and anything outside of his routine.Â Immobilized by grief, Macon is becoming increasingly prickly and alone, anchored by his solitude and an unwillingness to compromise his creature comforts. Then he meets Muriel, an eccentric dog trainer too optimistic to let Macon disappear into himself. Despite Maconâ€™s best efforts to remain insulated, Muriel up-ends his solitary, systemized life, catapulting him into the center of a messy, beautiful love story he never imagined. A fresh and timeless tale of unexpected bliss, The Accidental Tourist showcases Tylerâ€™s talents for making charactersâ€”and their relationshipsâ€”feel both real and magical.

â€œBittersweetâ€¦evocativeâ€¦Itâ€™s easy to forget this is the warm lull of fiction; you half-expect to run into her characters at the dry cleanersâ€¦Tyler [is] a writer of great compassion.â€ â€”The Boston Globe
