Anne Tyler: Three Days in June, Vintage /PRH,  upcoming Feb 2025 pub date, 9781784745752

( deutsch: Drei Tage im Juni, Kein & Aber) 

I absolutely loved " Three Days in June". Gail Baines, is the protagonist of the story and  the absolute anti-hero of a mother of the bride with a divorced husband, Max,  as a side kick, who has moved in with her for the duration of the wedding,  with a cat. Her daughter is about to get married and all is not well in this family  setting.  Written with a sharp sense of humor, I would recommend this quirky portrait of the trials of family life to anyone who loves Elizabeth Strout but without depressing characters. 5 stars.
