THE AMATEUR MARRIAGE By Anne Tyler 306 pages. Alfred A. Knopf. $24.95.
Anne Tyler's 1988 novel, ''Breathing Lessons,'' worked an artful variation on the old Audrey Hepburn-Albert Finney movie, ''Two for the Road,'' giving us a portrait of a marriage as a couple go on a long car trip and reminisce about their years together. Her affecting, if somewhat warmed-over new novel, ''The Amateur Marriage,'' gives us a similar portrait of a 30-year-long marriage between a warm, ditsy blabbermouth and her cautious, stick-in-the-mud husband -- minus the road trip.
Michael and Pauline Anton in ''The Amateur Marriage'' have so much in common with the couple in ''Breathing Lessons'' that the reader of both novels may well come down with a case of déjà vu: the husbands are both proprietors of small businesses that they took over from their families; the wives are both bad drivers and impetuous zanies; both couples are given to pondering the roads not taken in their pasts; both must contend with a wayward child and the unexpected arrival of a grandchild.
