About this audiobook

A delightful novel of one woman's transformative journey, from the best-selling and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer.

Willa Drake can count on one hand the defining moments of her life. In 1967, she is a schoolgirl coping with her mother's sudden disappearance. In 1977, she is a college coed considering a marriage proposal. In 1997, she is a young widow trying to piece her life back together. And in 2017, she yearns to be a grandmother but isn't sure she ever will be. Then, one day, Willa receives a startling phone call from a stranger. Without fully understanding why, she flies across the country to Baltimore to look after a young woman she's never met, her nine-year-old daughter, and their dog, Airplane. This impulsive decision will lead Willa into uncharted territory—surrounded by eccentric neighbors who treat each other like family, she finds solace and fulfillment in unexpected places. A bewitching novel of hope, self-discovery, and second chances, Clock Dance gives us Anne Tyler at the height of her powers.

Editor's Note

    It wasn’t the best it’s had a lot cliffhanger and didn’t explain a lot things in the story.

    Great story! Good for any age and really captures the experience of going through mulitple stages of life. It shows the complexity of life and that at no time is life black and white.

    Very enjoyable. Ann Tyler seems to have a formula: dysfunctional families and missed opportunities. Just like Tolstoy said.

    Why did I like her books for a decade or so years back and this one not. I vaguely disliked the character from start to finish. I think I was told about her instead of growing to know her by what she said out loud. So many useless details. I tried to like it out of loyalty to the writer.

    Nicely read. Humanely written with discreet humour. What else would one expect from Anne Tyler?

    Long, boring, whiny. Nothing really interesting at all in this book.
