Anne Tyler returns with her latest novel, sure to become an instant classic, chronicling the heartfelt and humorous story of a socially awkward mother navigating family tensions in the days surrounding her daughter’s wedding.

Gail Baines is going through a difficult time. Firstly, she’s suddenly without a job—although whether she quit or was fired depends entirely on who tells the story. On top of that, her daughter Debbie’s wedding is just a day away, and Gail hasn’t even received an invitation to the pre-wedding spa outing planned by the groom’s mother. As if all that weren’t enough, Gail’s ex-husband, Max, unexpectedly appears at her doorstep, holding a cat, without a place to stay—and he doesn’t even have an appropriate suit for the occasion.

But the real crisis arrives when Debbie reveals to her parents a troubling secret she has recently discovered about her fiancé. Her revelation not only throws the wedding plans into chaos but also forces Gail and Max to confront unresolved emotions from their own shared past.

Filled with Anne Tyler’s characteristic warmth, sharp wit, and deep insight into relationships, Three Days in June is a richly drawn exploration of love, family, marriage, and heartbreak. This captivating story from the Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author affirms once again Tyler’s extraordinary ability to illuminate human nature. Praised by critics and beloved alike, Three Days in June is a moving, funny, and profoundly relatable novel that resonates long after the last page.
