The Whitshanks always amazed everyone with their close-knit nature and subtle uniqueness. They were a family that everyone envied, in a good way. But like every family, they also had a secret, hidden reality, one they themselves were unaware of. Abby, Red, and their four adult children carry not only wonderful memories of joy, laughter, and family celebrations, but also disappointments, jealousies, and carefully guarded secrets.
The novel by Anne Tyler, one of the finest contemporary writers, unfolds the story of three generations of one family—touching yet not at all sentimental, dramatic yet funny, profound yet simple. Anne Tyler is sometimes called the Fannie Flagg of the North, but her stories are much closer to those of Anton Chekhov—subtle, sad, funny, and incredibly profound. She tells them in a quiet, slightly mocking voice, and they resonate in your soul for a long time; you think about them, and your own life appears in a new light—much more meaningful. Some books flare up like dazzling fireworks, but quickly fade, leaving behind a black sky in which rare but true stars shine—among them the novels of Anne Tyler.
Anne Tyler is a Pulitzer Prize winner, and her novel A Spool of Blue Thread was nominated for the Booker Prize in 2015.
