In the course of a day spent with her husband of 28 years, Maggie Moran reviews and reconsiders her married life.

Publisher Notes

During a ninety-mile drive to her best friend's husband's funeral, Maggie and her husband, Ira, recall and re-evaluate the details of their twenty-eight-year marriage.

Media Reviews

"With her extraordinary talents Anne Tyler can crush the heart with the hopelessness of life on one page and lift it with love and humor on the next. Now, in her eleventh novel, 'Breathing Lessons,' she explores in one Baltimore marriage the resilient spirit that rescues us from moments of despair."
