Synopsis
New York Times Bestseller
A charming novel of self-discovery and second chances from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Spool of Blue Thread
Willa Drake has had three opportunities to start her life over: in 1967, as a schoolgirl whose mother has suddenly disappeared; in 1977, when considering a marriage proposal; and in 1997, as a young widow trying to hold her family together. So she is surprised when in 2017 she is given one last chance to change everything, after receiving a startling phone call from a stranger. Without fully understanding why, she flies across the country to Baltimore to help a young woman she's never met. This impulsive decision, maybe the first one she's consciously made in her life, will lead Willa into uncharted territory--surrounded by eccentric neighbors who treat each other like family, she finds solace and fulfillment in unexpected places. A bewitching novel of hope and transformation, Clock Dance gives us Anne Tyler at the height of her powers.

Review
"Anne Tyler is one of this country's great artists . . . She has lost none of the inspired grace of her prose, nor her sad, frank humor, nor her limitless sympathy for women who ask for little and get less . . . Beautiful, understated, humane." --USA Today

A quiet but sharply feminist statement." --Entertainment Weekly "A psychologically astute study of an intelligent, curious woman . . . A triumph." --Boston Globe"Exquisite. . . .
