Noah's Compass
Anne Tyler

A step off the road for a little change of pace.
Ms. Tyler tells a great story in Noah"s compass.
This is both whimsical and prolific an account of a forced-to-retire school teacher who decides to scale down his life. In doing so he meets with a not so unfortunate circumstance that causes a portion of his life to "disappear"! the story wraps itself around this event, as the story of a mediocre, "every man", becomes an unforgettable account of extraordinary proportions!

Fun and entertaining.
