Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"To read a novel by Anne Tyler is to fall in love." -- People
The beloved bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author brings us the story of Evie Decker, a shy, slightly plump teenager, lonely and silent. But her quiet life is shattered when she hears the voice of Drumstrings Casey on the radio and becomes instantly attracted to him. She manages to meet him, bursting out of her lonely shell--and into the attentive gaze of the intangible man who becomes all too real....
"Without Anne Tyler, American fiction would be an immeasurably bleaker place."
--Newsweek
Evie Decker is a shy, slightly plump teenager with a distant father and hours and hours of silence to fill. Then one night she hears local rock singer Drumstrings Casey on the radio and is instantly enchanted by his cool, emotionless voice.
