A review by nancyflanagan
Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler
4.0
So this was a delightful read--obviously, Anne Tyler having a romp with the classic story, letting her funnybone lead the way.
Tyler is so often wrapped up in family emotions, letting gentle humor emerge from realistic stories. Here, she gets to play it broadly, to let her characters be fully comedic, rather than subtle and ironic. You know where the story is going to end, but she puts lots of delicious detail into the telling.
It's a fun, quick read with lots of chuckles.
