The Amateur Marriage by Anne Tyler

So on the one hand I enjoyed reading this but on the other, I felt cheated somehow when it finished--as if I were waiting for something to happen that never did. Tyler has a reputation for writing about the ordinary lives of ordinary people. I suppose if that is what you are in the market for, this would be a fine choice. But as an ordinary person living an ordinary life, I want my fiction to be something else, and this wasn't.
