The Whitschenks had always been surprisingly close-knit and subtly special. It was a family that everyone envied. But like every family, they had a secret, hidden reality they didn't even realize they had. Abby, Red, and their four grown children have in their baggage not only wonderful memories of joy, laughter, and family holidays, but also disappointments, jealousy, and carefully guarded secrets. In this novel by Anne Tyler, one of the best contemporary writers, the story of three generations of the same family unfolds - touching but not at all sentimental, dramatic but funny, very deep but simple. Anne Tyler is sometimes called the northern Fanny Flagg, but her stories are much closer to the stories of Anton Chekhov - subtle, sad and funny and incredibly deep. She tells them in a quiet, slightly mocking voice, and they resonate in the soul for a long time, you think about them, and your own life appears in a new light - much more full of meaning. Other books burst with dazzling fireworks, but quickly extinguished, leaving behind a black sky in which shine rare but real stars - among which are the novels of Anne Tyler. Anne Tyler is a Pulitzer Prize winner, and her novel A Reel of Blue Thread was nominated for a Booker Prize in 2015.
