NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A new Anne Tyler novel destined to be an instant classic: a socially awkward mother of the bride navigates the days before and after her daughter's wedding.

Gail Baines is having a bad day. To start, she loses her job—or quits, depending on whom you ask. Tomorrow her daughter, Debbie, is getting married, and she hasn’t even been invited to the spa day organized by the mother of the groom. Then, Gail’s ex-husband, Max, arrives unannounced on her doorstep, carrying a cat, without a place to stay, and without even a suit.

But the true crisis lands when Debbie shares with her parents a secret she has just learned about her husband to be. It will not only throw the wedding into question but also stir up Gail and Max’s past.

Told with deep sensitivity and a tart sense of humor, full of the joys and heartbreaks of love and marriage and family life, Three Days in June is a triumph, and gives us the perennially bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer at the height of her powers.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Anne Tyler remains my favourite author in the world. I’ve adored everything she’s ever written. Three Days in June is, of course, simply exquisite.” —Liane Moriarty

“Tyler lights up the space between people, and shows how it feels to be on the outside looking in. This is her superpower.”—Elisabeth Egan, New York Times

“Another delightfully assured exploration of the way sorrow and joy meld together in the crucible of family life. . . . [It] seems to defy the conventions of romantic comedy until it finally, gloriously gives in. . . . What a treat to listen in on this banter. . . . Few writers can weave the threads of dialogue with such casual brilliance as Tyler. . . . She and her shelf of celebrated novels sit confidently at the end of a circuitous line that winds back through Jane Austen’s novels to Shakespeare’s comedies.”—Ron Charles, Washington Post

Simple, Enjoyable, performed 5 stars

The narrative unfolded beautifully, and I particularly appreciated the interwoven themes of forgiveness, the importance of new beginnings, and the liberating act of letting go of past regrets and the pursuit of an unattainable ideal of perfection. The story's exploration of these powerful concepts resonated with me.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the book overall, the conclusion felt somewhat empty and left me wanting more. The open ending, while potentially setting the stage for a sequel, left a sense of incompleteness for me personally. This feeling of being left slightly unsatisfied was further amplified by the fact that I devoured the entire book in under a day – a testament to its compelling nature, yet also a touch disappointing as it meant my reading adventure ended rather quickly.

Now, the challenge is finding a new book equally engaging to keep me company during my treadmill sessions. I'm eager to discover my next literary escape!

It’s a love story

In some ways I was not prepared for the end but like most of Anne Tylers books the two key characters are well developed.

Sweet Story

In a crazy world, Tyler always hones in on the ordinary and brings it to life. There is a strong visual quality to this story and in particular to the way Tyler describes everything. I enjoyed listening to this short novel.

Uncomplicated, complicated characters

So well written. A simple story that goes into perfect depth. Very real characters and circumstances. Witty and cute, yet a little sad at times.

A Pleasant Surprise

I am not a fan of Anne Tyler, But I decided to give her another chance with this short novel. I am very glad I did! Good writing, a well structured plot, interesting characters, and lots of humor fill this book. I laughed alot! There is even a sweet cat for the feline fanciers of Audible. I recommend "Three Days in June" for Tyler fans and Tyler non-fans alike!

The narrator picked exactly the tone of the main character

The story of undying love told by a 61 year old woman with humor and wisdom so typical for Anne Tyler

she captures the complexity of emotions

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get lost in a story. it's short but if you're looking for a great story this is it

Lovely

My first by book by this author. Lovely little story and a perfect palate cleanser. I would recommend.

Usual great character development but…

It was too short. When any Anne Tyler book ends, I hate to say goodbye to the vivid characters, their thoughts, and struggles. I wanted more of Gail & Max.

Interesting but short

Such a short book. Only 4 hours. I would have liked for the story to continue. So much more could be developed with these characters.
