Pulitzer Prize-winning author Anne Tyler treats her fans to her warm, insightful style once again with A Patchwork Planet. Her flair for creating everyday heroes continues to catapult her to the top of fiction best-seller lists. Ex-thief Barnaby Gaitlin works for Rent-a-Back, Inc., compassionately performing household chores for shut-ins and the elderly. The 30-year-old black sheep of an “old” Baltimore family, he is a disappointment to everyone in his life, including himself. Living in a basement, and haunted by his shady adolescent past, he can’t seem to do anything right—until he meets kind and sensible Sophia. Could hers be the love that will alter his life? When Anne Tyler explores the complexities of navigating this perplexing little planet, her fans come away with a feeling of somehow being understood. Told in the first person, the story takes on a comfortable immediacy as narrator Jeff Woodman skillfully convinces listeners that he is, indeed, Barnaby Gaitlin.
