Saint Maybe Hardcover - 1991

by Anne Tyler; Judith B. Jones (Editor)

A superb new Anne Tyler novel about a young man's guilt over his brother's death--and his struggle, through the years, to atone. Seeking to make amends, drawn into the irresistible embrace of the Church of the Second Chance, he learns that forgiveness is not automatic but earned. Pulitzer Prize-winner Anne Tyler has created a novel that makes readers laugh and cry and wish they never had to come to the end.


From the jacket flap

Saint Maybe is the rich and absorbing story of a young man's guilt over his brother's death and his struggle to atone for the wrong he feels he has done.
On a quiet street in Baltimore in 1965, seventeen-year-old Ian Bedloe lives with his family in an "ideal, apple-pie household," enjoying the comfort of family traditions and indulging in all the usual dreams of the future. Until one night, when Ian's stinging words to his brother bring tragedy -- and from that careless moment on nothing can ever be the same. Anne Tyler takes us along Ian's painful and poignant quest for forgiveness, from the Church of the Second Chance to Ian's gratifying, solitary work as a carpenter. Raising the three children that are thrust on him, he finds himself amazed, drowning in family and duty. Then, out of the very heart of the domestic clutter, a light begins to flash.
