The tin can tree - Anne Tyler

A novel to haunt the mind and touch the heart

When young Janie Pike dies in a tragic accident, she leaves behind a family numbed with grief — and torn apart by grief and recrimination.

But life must go on. And somehow each member of the family must learn to face the future in his or her own way…

Here is a story of human beings trying to deal with tragedy, of the individual torments that threaten them… of the friends and relatives who care, yet cannot truly comprehend… and of the blood ties of love that alone can unite and save.
