Searching for Caleb

De: Anne Tyler

Narrado por: Amy Finegan

Through the syncopated rhythms of the ragtime era to the thumping, rocking beats of the 1970s, generations of Pecks have maintained a determined steadiness. Adamantly middle-class - Peck-proud, as the family slogan goes - they are quick to sweep under the rug those members who do not live up to their standards. Maybe that's why Caleb Peck took off with his violincello as a boy? Sixty years later, his brother, Daniel, is still wondering. No longer willing to live without answers, he turns to his daughter-in-law, Justine, another Peck family eccentric. A studied tarot card reader, Justine comes across one message over and over in the cards: Change is coming. With Daniels help, she's hoping to find the courage to embrace whatever happens next.

An unlikely pair struggling against a stifling family, Daniel and Justine believe they'll find freedom in just the right mix of magic, music, and mystery.

Enjoyed this book

A disclaimer- I am a fan of AT’s books. The characters are all so quirky but carry such deep
Souls. It took a little while to get into , but once I did, I didn’t want to stop listening.

Interesting Story!

I love the narrator! It is an Interesting story. I did not care much for the characters other than Justine. I have to say I hated selfish Duncan. However, the writing is superb and it is narrated extremely well.
