A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler

This is the 20th novel penned by this Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Like many of her stories,this
one is like visiting old friends.

It is the story of the Whitshank family through four generations.  It is a story that unfolds as the reader is propelled to find out more about each character.  There are secrets to be shared, laughter and the ability to witness the genuine love that permeates this family.

The house is at the center of this family legacy and the story of how the family came to be living in it is interesting in and of itself.  As the older generations age, the younger generations step up to the plate and gather everyone in.

A gentle story told in the very familiar writing of a consumate author.
