While THREE DAYS IN JUNE, by Anne Tyler, is a short book, it is packed with a wealth of memories. Gail is an interesting woman who on the surface would be easy to ignore.Β She is blunt, and direct and doesn't engage in small talk.Β However, for those willing to look beneath the surface, she is much more than that.Β Her quirky ex-husband Max might be written off as being hapless, but that would be a mistake.

THREE DAYS IN JUNE is a story that gives readers a window into Gail's and Max's marriage and family.Β Candid and witty, it is a story about realizations, perceptions, honesty and the power of unexpected reunions.Β It is well worth reading.
