A Spool Of Blue Thread: A Novel

"To me, reading an Anne Tyler book is like hanging out with an old friend: You open the book to the first page and emerge three hours later surprised that so much time has gone by. A Spool of Blue Thread fits perfectly into that mold. Abby and Red Whitshank are getting old and their four children are eager to help them stay in the beloved family home. Sibling rivalries flare up; family secrets are spilled; and the Whitshanks emerge bruised but a little wiser at the end of it all. Pull up a comfortable chair and enjoy yourself."
