General Fiction

Back When We Were Grownups by Anne Tyler was made into a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, and I can easily see why. I wasn't a big fan of the book, but I wasn't making myself turn the pages, it was actually a very light and easy read.
The story follows a year in the life of Rebecca Davitch, who runs the Open Arms, her house that the family have used for parties since 1951. It takes you through her realising she isn't who she once though she'd be and her trying to get back to her college day ways. As you read how she answers her own question of where exactly things changed, you learn that sometimes, when you think something might have changed your life for the worse, it's actually exactly what you needed.
