Product Description

"An almost flawless story of love...Morgan emerges as a true hero."

LOS ANGELES TIMES

Morgan Gower works at Cullen's hardware store in north Baltimore. He has seven daughters and a warmhearted wife, but as he journeys into the gray area of middle age, he finds his household growing tedious. Then Morgan meets two lovely young newlyweds under some rather extreme circumstances--and all three discover that no one's heart is safe....


From the Paperback edition.


Ingram

A tinkering, puttering sort of man, Morgan Gower works at Cullen's Hardware Store in North Baltimore. He has seven daughters and a warm wife, but as he journeys into middle age, he finds his household confusing and tedious. Then Morgan meets two lovely young newlyweds, and all three discover that no heart is safe.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Got through it - somehow, Sep 6 1999
Par Un client
The Accidental Tourist is MUCH better than this. Tyler has talent; how she ever told this tale is beyond me. Morgan is not a hero; he's a bumbling, eccentric and selfish man who doesn't have a clue. It would have been far more interesting if she had told the tale from the wife's point of view. To have this much home-wrecking in one book, and so little emotional fall-out is unbelievable. I think Tyler can do better.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Actions without consequences, Mai 13 1998
Morgan spends his life pretending he is somebody else. . .doctor, inventor, whatever. He leaves his wife of thirty years and seven kids to break up the marriage of a young couple and their kid. No comment is made as to how this affects the children--the creep is presented as a funny charmer. If you think divorce and abandonment is a joke you will love this book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A gem, Aoû 30 2003
Par Peggy Vincent "author and reader" (Oakland, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Morgan's Passing is one of my top favorites of Anne Tyler's many books, perhaps because I'm a midwife, and the book contains one of the most hilarious, compassionate, and realistic childbirth scenes I've ever read. Morgan of the title delivers a baby in a car, and when he asks the guy to get some newspaper, the flustered fellow asks, "The Times, the Post, or the Trib??" or some such nonsense. And believe me, I know from experience that you just can't make that kind of stuff up. It's true, it's all true.
But back to the main theme. Morgan is a very odd and very irritating eccentric, married to a clearly long-suffering wife with whom he has seven children. All girls. Morgan works in a hardware store where he mostly tries to talk people out of buying the stock. Morgan talks and talks and talks and talks. And Morgan is going through a confusing slide into a mid life crisis.
It makes for some of Tyler's best writing - and for some of our best reading.
