Digging to America Reviews

"Magnificent" * Observer *
"Deliciously funny and sharply observed" * Guardian *
"Wise and funny...a multidimensional exploration of what it means to belong, not only to a family but also to a nation" * Sunday Times *
"Out of this everyday material she spins gold: stories so achingly truthful, so achingly funny, so sad and so real that you can only marvel" -- Elizabeth Buchan * Daily Mail *
"Anne Tyler draws a comedy that is not so much brilliant as luminous - its observant sharpness sweetened by a generous understanding of human fallibility" * Sunday Telegraph *
