EARLY MORNING RISER
By Katherine Heiny (4th Estate £14.99, 336 pp)
Heiny s extremely likeable novels portray everyday relationships with the warm wit and wisdom we expect from Anne Tyler.
Her new book takes us through two decades in the life of an elementary school teacher, Jane, who has recently moved to a small town in Michigan, when the story starts in 2002.
She hooks up with a smooth-talking carpenter, Duncan, but calls it a day when he humiliatingly dashes her hopes of marriage while flirting with a client.
