Caleb Peck vanished in 1912, a voluntary refugee from an all-embracing Peckness of the Pecks. Sixty-one years later his half brother Daniel is still on trial, helped by his grand-daughter Justine, a character cursed with a Peckish necessity to see every side of a question. The moving search for the family's deepest roots, from the ragtime era at the end of the last century to small town America in the mid seventies is a haunting story about growing up and breaking away, rebellion and acceptance.

In what is perhaps her richest and most deeply searching novel, Pulitzer-prize winner Anne Tyler gives us a story brimming with observations that cast a penetrating light on the American way as seen from two perspectives. It looks at the promises and perils of the American Dream and the knotty, layered relationship that can develop between native-born Americans and more recent immigrants intent on making their way through the often baffling byways of the New World. Description in Spanish: "Los Yazdan no pueden tener hijos y deciden adoptar una niña coreana. Lo mismo les sucede a los Donaldson. Las raÃces iranÃes de una familia contrastan con el espÃritu americano de la otra, sin embargo, ambas entablarán una relación de amistad en torno a las dos niñas. Con la sensibilidad, agudeza y cercanÃa que caracterizan su prosa, Anne Tyler, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer, demuestra una vez más en esta novela su extraordinaria capacidad para descubrir las grietas invisibles de la vida cotidiana, y saca a la luz los problemas culturales que puede tener una sociedad aparentemente perfecta."
