About this listen

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.

“What a treat.”—Washington Post

“Simply exquisite.”—Liane Moriarty

“Nobody understands human nature better than Tyler. And nobody understands the complexities of love the way she does.”—Boston Globe

Three Days in June is like reading a hug.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune

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.

Critic reviews

“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

I really enjoyed this sweet story… But I felt like there was one big loose end related to the daughter’s marriage… I won’t say more since it would be a spoiler!

Great book - loose ends
