About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the bestselling author of A Spool of Blue Thread: an offbeat love story about mis-steps, second chances and the elusive art of human connection
Micah Mortimer isn’t the most polished person you’ll ever meet. His numerous sisters and in-laws regard him oddly but very fondly, but he has his ways and means of navigating the world. He measures out his days running errands for work – his TECH HERMIT sign cheerily displayed on the roof of his car – maintaining an impeccable cleaning regime and going for runs (7:15, every morning). He is content with the steady balance of his life.
But then the order of things starts to tilt. His woman friend Cassia (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a ‘girlfriend’) tells him she’s facing eviction because of a cat. And when a teenager shows up at Micah’s door claiming to be his son, Micah is confronted with another surprise he seems poorly equipped to handle.
Redhead by the Side of the Road is an intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who sometimes finds those around him just out of reach – and a love story about the differences that make us all unique.

Gentle
I have always loved anne Tyler’s stories and haven’t read her for a while. What a gentle easy read. No fishy cuffs or gun fights. The protagonist is not a murderer nor a huge personality. He is a gentle loaner who gets it all wrong sad really.

I wanted to like this more, but it was OK.
I have previously enjoyed Anne Tyler, and with this book on the longlist for 'The Booker' I thought it would be a winner. Tyler crafted some beautifully quirky and distinct moments, which I loved, but the weave holding them together was a bit flat for me. Overall OK, I don't think I'd listen again.
