Book Reviews of If Morning Ever Comes: A Novel
Book Review: Anne Tyler's first book
Summary: 3 Stars
This is Anne Tyler's first novel (one she has disowned), and it definitely shows. Ben Joe Hawkes is a law student from North Carolina who is attending law school in NYC. He misses home and decides to return there for a visit. Home consists of six sisters, his mother, and his grandmother.
We get lots of talk about past incidents, mostly of unusual doings (running off with salesmen, for example) that nobody seems to take too seriously. The book is fairly disjointed (in one scene a drunken soldier appears out of nowhere on their front lawn playing a bagpipe) and filled with lots of talk, much of it not very interesting. Much better work was to follow.
