In 'Back When We Were Grownups', Anne Tyler introduces us to Rebecca, a woman who, despite the years and family expectations, decides to take control of her life. Tired of reinventing traditional cuisine and taking care of children who don't consider her a grandmother, Rebecca embarks on a journey of self-discovery. She resumes her studies, joins a gym, buys silk lingerie, and dares to contact someone from her past. This novel explores the value of memories and the courage needed to rewrite one's life.
