A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler
Another lovely novel by Tyler, beautifully read by the audiobook narrator. Farr's accents are fantastic and really help distinguish the characters.
I wasn't sure about the story, as the first section deals with aging parents and I wasn't overly connected to the characters. Yet, I need to remember to have more faith in Tyler. Future parts go back in time (except for the last one that wraps everything up), each one digging a little deeper in the past. Instead of the reverse timeline rehashing things I already know, each one uncovered slivers that made me reconsider what I'd read previously. This book is a master class in writing a novel that goes backward in time.
