Noah’s Compass
by Anne Tyler, audio book narrated by Arthur Morey, 2009, Random House Inc.
This is the story of a sixty-year-old man, Liam, who has lost one wife, is divorced from another, and has just lost his job as a first grade teacher in a private elementary school. He decides to retire and move to an apartment in another part of town.
Liam grasps for one last chance for love and meaning in his life.
The story is a bit of a downer and the main characters and his family are disfunctional. The narrator seems to capture all of this fairly well. The end result is not particularly satisfying.
