Redhead by the Side of the Road: A novel
Categories: Kindle Store, Kindle eBooks, Literature & Fiction

LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning author, a sparkling novel about misperception, second chances, and the sometimes elusive power of human connection. Micah Mortimer is a creature of habit. A self-employed tech expert, superintendent of his Baltimore apartment building, cautious to a fault behind the steering wheel, he seems content leading a steady, circumscribed life. But one day his routines are blown apart when his woman friend (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a "girlfriend") tells him she&apos;s facing eviction, and a teenager shows up at Micah&apos;s door claiming to be his son. These surprises, and the ways they throw Micah&apos;s meticulously organized life off-kilter, risk changing him forever. An intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who finds those around him just out of reach, and a funny, joyful, deeply compassionate story about seeing the world through new eyes, Redhead by the Side of the Road is a triumph, filled with Anne Tyler&apos;s signature wit and gimlet-eyed observation.
