The Boys: A Novel

A delicious summer read filled with humor and surprise for readers of Anne Tyler and Kevin Wilson. When introverted Ethan marries fun-loving Barb, he has every reason to believe he will be delivered from a lifetime of solitude. Barb suggests they foster two young brothers at the start of the pandemic. Instead of bringing the couple closer together, Ethan’s remarkable bond with the boys drives them apart. The New York Times calls it “a wonder of storytelling,” Washington Post says it is “nearly impossible to put down,” and the San Francisco Chronicle says it’s “A laugh-out-loud delight to read.”
