So when he meets Dorothy, an outspoken, independent young woman, she's like a breath of fresh air. He marries her without hesitation, and they have a relatively happy, unremarkable marriage. Aaron works at his family's vanity-publishing business, turning out titles that presume to guide beginners through the trials of life. But when a tree crashes into their house and Dorothy is killed, Aaron feels as though he has been erased forever. Only Dorothy's unexpected appearances from the dead--in their house, on the roadway, in the market--help him to live in the moment and to find some peace. Gradually, Aaron discovers that maybe for this beginner there is indeed a way to say goodbye.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780345533357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.18w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/11\/2013 pg. 57\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/17\/2013 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Anne Tyler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52715380801717,"sku":"9780345533357","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-beginners-goodbye-the-beginners-goodbye-a-novel-9780345533357","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
