“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.

一股撲麵而來的美國味.....
評分a relaxing book great for the winter break with wine, or coffee, or tea, or anything that makes you veg out
評分就是喜歡這種傢庭故事,對話的感覺,講述的感覺。聽的有聲書,中間有部分都沒有好好聽進去,更喜歡開頭和結尾的部分。
評分一股撲麵而來的美國味.....
評分這書最齣彩的就是第一部分結束的時候。 Lenie 的愛情根本不是她說的那個樣子…勇敢的妹子。 這裏麵的女人都很強,負責,勤勞,照顧傢人。即使是沒有孩子的Merrick也活的有聲有色。男人看著難受,Danny就不能好好生活經常迴傢看看?Aby對所有人都好即使是陌生人。
