Three Days in June: A Novel
by Anne Tyler
Three Days in June (12/27/2024)
This novel is a light-hearted look at three days in the life of Gail Baines (a 61 year old assistant administrator in a private school). She's divorced from Max, and their daughter, Debbie, is getting married.

The story is character-driven. Who are these characters and what is their history?
Day 1: A Day of Beauty: What kind of crisis can come from that?
Day 2: D-Day: Is that a hint that something will happen at the wedding?
Day 3: The Day After: What comes next?

I was intrigued by the presence of the cat throughout the three days. Why did the
author add the cat to the story? Do her antics parallel the storyline?
I would not choose this book for my discussion group. Though I would recommend
reading it in front of a fireplace, with a warm beverage, on a snowy night.
An enjoyable 'light' read.
