Synopsis: Breathing Lessons was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1988. Breathing Lessons is the wonderfully moving and surprising story of Ira and Maggie Moran. She's impetuous, harum-scarum, easy-going; he's competent, patient, seemingly infallible. They've been married for 28 years. Now, as they drive from their home in Baltimore to the funeral of Maggie's best friend's husband, Anne Tyler shows us all there is to know about a marriage - the expectations, the disappointments, the way children can create storms in a family, the way a wife and husband can fall in love all over again, the way nothing really changes. Anne Tyler's funny, unpredictable and endearing characterizations make Breathing Lessons a truly entertaining experience. Publisher's Note: The author of the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning Accidental Tourist pens another delightful tale of an ordinary couple. The Morans are just ave rage--she is scatterbrained and he whistles. Just when they think they've learned all there is to know about each other, they find out how extraordinary they really are. "More powerful than anything she has done!"--New York Times. Condition: Binding - fine, a few slight flaws to the side page edge gilding, otherwise like new. Dust jacket - none, as issued.
