About this listen

"Tyler is steadily raising a body of fiction of major dimensions." (New York Times)

Thirty-eight-year-old Jeremy Pauling has never left home. He lives on the top floor of a Baltimore row house where he creates collages of little people snipped from wrapping paper. His elderly mother putters in the rooms below, until her death. And it is then that Jeremy is forced to take in Mary Tell and her child as boarders. Mary is unaware of how much courage it takes Jeremy to look her in the eye. For Jeremy, like one of his paper creations, is fragile and easily torn - especially when he's falling in love....

Having read all her books, this is probably my favorite. Not only is it the best story but the multiple narrators were a plus. I recommend this one!

Cannot even understand the theme. What is it about?
Who are the characters?
It just seems to go along and gets nowhere. The characters seem so depressed and depressing.

Just boring
