Ladder of Years [Paperback] Tyler, Anne

Anne Tyler works her quiet magic in this beautifully observed tale of domestic escape and self-discovery. When Delia Grinstead walks away from her family during a beach holiday, she doesn't just disappear—she reinvents herself in a small town where nobody knows her history. Tyler's signature wit and compassion shine as Delia navigates her new life, grappling with freedom, identity, and the question of whether we can ever truly start over. It's tender, wryly funny, and deeply human—the kind of novel that lingers long after the final page. Perfect for fans of thoughtful domestic fiction and anyone who's ever fantasised about walking away from it all.
