Red by the Side of the Road is the latest novel by Anne Tyler, an American writer whose books are loved and appreciated by millions of readers on every continent. The protagonist, Mick Mortimer, a forty-year-old bachelor, computer expert and part-time caretaker of an apartment building in Baltimore, leads a stable, measured, but very limited life. But one day, all this stability is shattered - not only because his girlfriend Mickey decides to leave him, but also because a teenager appears at the door of the hero's house as if from nowhere, claiming to be his son...

A deep, intimate story full of compassion, subtle knowledge of the secrets of the human heart, and warm humour about what can happen if you are lucky enough to see the world with a completely new perspective. It is also about the errors of perception, the second chance that everyone has, and the incomprehensible power of human connections.

In 2020, The Redheaded Man was nominated for the Man Booker Prize.
