A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler

 


This story is about the rivalries and tensions of families everywhere – the essential nature of family life.

Good points:
I like how the story unfolded like a spool of thread - it just unwound and unwound
You feel like you are part of the family.
Anne Tyler brings her characters to life through the smallest of details - I like how they are quirky, eccentric - realistic

Bad points:
I was waiting for a climax, but it never came.
   The chapters about Red's parents seemed like filler.
