Anne Tyler
Who are some novelists that are similar to Anne Tyler?
I’m looking for recommendations of character-based novels. Anne Tyler is probably the only writer I really love, but I’ve read all of hers, and would like to hear of anyone else who can create characters as realistically.
Authors and titles would be appreciated, and I’d like to hear what you like about them,
thanks,
Try Jane Smiley’s books. Here’s a list of them.
