[tps_title] Anne Tyler, French Braid [/tps_title]
Beloved prize-winning author Anne Tyler returns with this deep dive into The Garrett family’s foibles, from the 1950s right up to the changed world of today, from their first and last family vacation in the summer of 1959. They hardly ever venture far from home, but in some ways they have never been further apart. Mercy has trouble resisting the siren call of her aspirations to be a painter, which means less time keeping house for her husband, Robin. Their teenage daughters, steady Alice and boy-crazy Lily, could not have less in common. Their youngest, David, is already intent on escaping his family’s orbit, for reasons none of them understands. Yet, as these lives advance across decades, the Garretts’ influence on one another ripples unmistakably through each generation.
