Synopsis

Back When We Were Grownups is a 2001 novel written by Anne Tyler in memory of her husband, who died in 1997. Tyler's 15th novel, set in Baltimore, Maryland like most of her work, opens with the sentence, "Once upon a time, there was a woman who discovered she had turned into the wrong person. " The woman in question is Rebecca Davitch, a 53-year-old widow, mother, grandmother, and proprietor of a party and catering business run from her home called Open Arms.
