The Amateur Marriage by Anne Tyler is one of my favourite books. I have re-read it so many times that I actually had to buy another copy when I misplaced my original one.

It is a family saga about Pauline and Michael who marry during the fervour of WWII and the trials and tribulations of a couple who never quite seem to get the hang of marriage, and the fallout of their choices on their children and on themselves.

I am pulling this out to suggest as a wonderful summer read. It is great for at the beach or on an airplane or while camping. The story keeps me engaged every time and the characters remind me of people that I know. They even remind me of myself at times.

If you are looking for an easy summer read, I would highly suggest this one. It is only 342 pages and my version is the pocketbook one, so it’s easy to tote around.
