BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Anne Tyler's The Beginner's Goodbye.Maggie and Ira Moran have been married for twenty-eight yearsand it shows: in their quarrels, in their routines, in their ability to tolerate with affection each other' s eccentricities. Maggie, a kooky, lovable meddler and an irrepressible optimist, wants nothing more than to fix her son's broken marriage. Ira is infuriatingly practical, a man ';who should have married Ann Landers.' And what begins as a day trip to a funeral becomes an adventure in the unexpected. As Maggie and Ira navigate the riotous twists and turns, they intersect with an assorted cast of eccentricsand rediscover the magic of the road called life and the joy of having somebody next to you to share the ride . . . bumps and all.
