French Braid

Read July 2022
As usual Anne Tyler gives us an interesting story of family relationships, this time a family saga spanning from 1959 to late summer2020. Yes, it does include the impact of COVID -19 on these family relationships. Each of seven sections focuses on a different family member and their perspectives of what’s happening in the particular time frame of the section. The sections generally move forward in time although there is some overall. It may seem at times a little disjointed since there is sometimes substantial time between sections but this reader took this in stride and just enjoyed Tyler’s wonderful gift for looking inside people and how they influence the relationships they are in.
This reader hopes Anne Tyler keeps writing!
