Product Information
Short-listed for the Man Booker Prize "It was a beautiful, breezy, yellow-and-green afternoon. . ." This is how Abby Whitshank always begins the story of how she fell in love with Red that day in July 1959. The Whitshanks are one of those families that radiate togetherness: an indefinable, enviable kind of specialness. But they are also like all families, in that the stories they tell themselves reveal only part of the picture. Abby and Red and their four grown children have accumulated not only tender moments, laughter, and celebrations, but also jealousies, disappointments, and carefully guarded secrets. From Red's father and mother, newly arrived in Baltimore in the 1920s, to Abby and Red's grandchildren carrying the family legacy boisterously into the twenty-first century, here are four generations of Whitshanks, their lives unfolding in and around the sprawling, lovingly worn Baltimore house that has always been their anchor. Brimming with all the insight, humor, and generosity of spirit that are the hallmarks of Anne Tyler's work, A Spool of Blue Thread tells a poignant yet unsentimental story in praise of family in all its emotional complexity. It is a novel to cherish.

Reviews
". . .Tyler is as fleet and graceful as a skater, her prose as transparent as ice . . . We get swept up in the spin of conversations, the slipstream of consciousness, and the glide and dip of domestic life, then feel the sting of Tyler's quick and cutting insights into unjust assumptions about class, gender, age, and race . . . Tyler's long dedication to language and story [is] an artistic practice made perfect in this charming, funny, and shrewd novel of the paradoxes of self, family, and home." --Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred) "Tyler show[s] once again that she's a gifted and engrossing storyteller." -- Publishers Weekly "It is wonderful to pick up a novel from a bonafide literary superstar. A Spool of Blue Thread is Anne Tyler's twentieth novel and it shows in every flawless sentence . . . A stunning novel about family life which just rings so true--it depicts the bonds and the tensions, the love and the exasperation beautifully . . . A terrific novel." -- The Bookseller, UK (Book of the Month), ". . .Tyler is as fleet and graceful as a skater, her prose as transparent as ice . . .

They will be special to readers thanks to the extraordinary richness and delicacy with which Tyler limns complex interactions and mixed feelings familiar to us all and yet marvelously particular to the empathetically rendered members of the Whitshank clan.

Anne Tyler''s novels are invitations to spend time in the houses of the Baltimore neighborhood that she has built--house by house, block by block, word by word--over her long and bright career." --Francine Prose, The New York Review of Books "Tyler tenderly unwinds the tangled skeins of three generations, then knits them together . . . in precise often hilarious detail . . . By the end of this deeply beguiling novel, we come to know a reality entirely different form the one at the start. Not that anyone''s lying, only that everything--the way we see the world and the way we understand it to work--is changed by the intimate, incremental shifts of daily life." --Roxana Robinson, O magazine "Tyler slyly dismantles the myth-making behind all our family stories . . . She does so with a compassion that recognizes that few of us will be immune to similar accommodations with the truth . . . The novel [makes] piercing forays into the long-distant past . . . We are not reading the fiction of estrangement, or of disorientation, but its power derives from the restless depths beneath its unfractured surface." --Alex Clark, The Guardian "What a wonderful, natural writer she is . . . She knows all the secrets of the human heart." --Monica Ali, author of Brick Lane "Anne Tyler is one of my favourite writers and this is a delicious book. It is like being with a dear old friend. It is very special." --Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry "[Tyler''s] extraordinary gift for producing what seems less like fiction than actuality works wonders again. Characters all but elbow their way off the page with lifelikeness . . . Masterly . . . Magnificent . . . A gleamingly accomplished book." -- Peter Kemp, The Sunday Times "Exploring this dichotomy--the imperfections that reside within a polished exterior--is Tyler''s specialty, and her latest generation-spanning work accomplishes just that, masterfully and monumentally . . . Indelible." --Elyse Moody, Elle "Tyler show[s] once again that she''s a gifted and engrossing storyteller." -- Publishers Weekly "It is wonderful to pick up a novel from a bonafide literary superstar.
