Review title: emotionally unsatisfying and carelessly conceived
Product review: Anne Tyler's Ladder of Years is a totally disappointing reading experience. The concept of a unfulfilled wife and mother deserting her grown family has promise- but Tyler's carelessly written novel finally leaves her readers unfulfilled. The book hurtles toward a totally unsatisfactory ending with the heroine Delia Grinstead reassuming her "rightful" position in the midst of her family with seamless integration. There is virtually no discussion of her departure nor any attempt to deal with the issues which caused her to behave so uncoventionally. If the characters in books were to have afterlives, one can imagine that Delia's life would remain unchanged, while the people whom she encountered and befriended during her hiatus would feel used and abandoned. One wonders if Tyler's publishers made her edit out all of the passages that gave the plot lines conclusions and the issues resolution
