August 2013 Guest Editor Catherine Alliott on Anne Tyler...
Anne Tyler is probably my favourite contemporary novelist. She's so good yet she never draws attention to her writing, she lets you forget it. Back When We Were Grownups is a wry and comic tale about a woman who feels herself disappearing in middle age and tries to claw back the sense of who she once was before she became consumed by her dead husband's family.
One morning, Rebecca wakes up and realises she has turned into the wrong person. Is she really this joyous and outgoing organiser of parties, the put-upon heart of her dead husband's extended family? What happened to her quiet and serious nineteen-year-old self, and what would have happened if she'd married her college sweetheart?
