A Spool of Blue Thread

Read on the Kindle, following an Amazon recommendation.  I have been an Anne Tyler fan for years, and have read several of her other books.

This book centres on three generations of the Whitshank family, living in the house built by the Junior, the first Whitshank patriarch.

This is essentially the story of how the next generation, Red and Abby, met, fell in love, and raised their four children.

As Red and Abby age, and their health fails, the children return to the family home, and buried sibling rivalries and issues bubble to the surface.

You cannot fault Anne Tyler's writing, and she has created a character - the family - as fascinating as it is ordinary.
