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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBrimming with all the insight, humor, and generosity of spirit that are the hallmarks of Anne Tyler's work, \u003ci\u003eA Spool of Blue Thread\u003c\/i\u003e tells a poignant yet unsentimental story in praise of family in all its emotional complexity.
