NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning author-an irresistible novel exploring the slippery alchemy of attracting opposites, and the struggle to rebuild ones life after unspeakable tragedyTravel writer Macon Leary hates travel, adventure, surprises, and anything outside of his routine. Immobilized by grief, Macon is becoming increasingly prickly and alone, anchored by his solitude and an unwillingness to compromise his creature comforts. Then he meets Muriel, an eccentric dog trainer too optimistic to let Macon disappear into himself. Despite Macons best efforts to remain insulated, Muriel up-ends his solitary, systemized life, catapulting him into the center of a messy, beautiful love story he never imagined. A fresh and timeless tale of unexpected bliss, The Accidental Tourist showcases Tylers talents for making characters-and their relationships-feel both real and magical.Incandescent, heartbreaking, exhilaratingOne cannot reasonably expect fiction to be much better than this. -The Washington Post
