Description
The Clock Winder by Anne Tyler A family's reputation for craziness is only matched by their need for help. When newly widowed Mrs Emerson sacks her handyman, she finds an unlikely replacement in Elizabeth, a lanky and awkward girl who becomes embroiled in the Emersons' disorderly lives. As Elizabeth navigates this chaotic world, it's hard to tell whether she's a victim of the Emersons or their de facto ruler. Anne Tyler masterfully captures the complexities of family life, revealing the secrets that lie beneath the surface. With her unique ability to make the ordinary seem extraordinary, Anne Tyler has built a reputation as one of the most beloved authors of our time.
