Heya...
Summary..
Set in Baltimore, and looks into the life of Macon Leary, and the trials and tribulations that he has to struggle through in order to reach ultimate happiness. He is a travel guide writer whose son was shot at a fast-food restaurant a year previously, causing a rift between him and his wife, Sarah. Lost in grief, they find their marriage deteriorating until she eventually moves out.
Macon hires to train his dog. She is a quirky young woman with a sickly son, Alexander, and he discovers that he has struck up a bond with the two of them. Muriel is the opposite of Macon’s wife, Sarah, which is perhaps what attracts him to her. She is talkative, brash, much less ‘classy’, and is fond of wearing odd outfits.
Over time, Macon becomes attached to Muriel and her son, and, despite his misgivings, he moves in with them. When Sarah becomes aware of this situation, however, she decides to reconcile with him, and Macon is forced to make a difficult decision between two women he cares immensely about. He has to make daunting decisions about his future.
The novel ends ambiguously, allowing the reader to make a decision about which woman Macon chooses in the end.

Heya mate
The answer of ur question is
The author finds that living in the real world is the most outstanding. Other people do things without any difficulty. But it is not so for Him . A number of times he could not find the lavatory in a cinema . He also forgot his room number in a hotel .
Once the author went on a big trip with his family. It was Easter. They were checking in Logan Airport in Boston . He remembered then that he had recently joined British Airways frequent flyer programme . He also remembered that he had put the card in his carry-on bag it hung around his neck
The zip on the bag was jammed. He gotangry. He pulled at it in anger. The zip gave way. His things like the tin of pipe tobacco,magazines, passport, money etc, spread over a large area. He looked at these things in great surprise. He cried at his tobacco. He had got finger injured. Blood was coming from it.There was a deep wound. He was greatly confused. His wife looked at him in wonder.
The author was always onfused in his air travels.He caused great inconveniences to other passengers. Once he bent over to tie his shoe lace. Then someone pushed his seat back. He got pinned on the floor. He had to catch the leg of the man near him.
On Another occasion he knocked soft drink
on to the lap of a lady two times. The lady looked at him in surprise. She uttered an oath with Oh'. This was not his worst experience.
His worst experience was another. On a plane flight he was writing his thoughts. He had his pen in his mouth. It leaked while he as talking to a lady next seat. He went to the toilet. He saw that his mouth, chin, tongue, teeth and gums had got navy blue.
The author's wife cautioned the children on plane flights about the author . he would cut the meat. But it would fly. But when alone, he did not eat or drink. He would sit quietly. This would cut his laundry bills.
The author did not get his flyer miles in that way. He couldn't find the card in time. He knew that others were flying first class to Bali with their air miles. But he couldn't collect anything. He must fly 100,000 miles a year. But he had hardly gathered only about 212 air miles from twenty-three airlines.
This was because he forgot to ask for the air miles.Sometimes the airline didn't record these. The airline clerk informed him that he was not entitled to them.
In January he flew to Australia. He hoped to get about a zillion air miles. But the clerk told him that he was not entitled He asked the reason." The clerk told that the ticket was in the name of B. Brvson. But the card was in the name of W.Bryson. He explained that both Bill and William were hardly different. But she didn't accept that.
Thus, the author didn't get his air miles.He won't fly to Bali first class. He could never go that long without eating.
