A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler

4.0

I’m on a mother/ family stories kick. This is definitely a family story- some sadness some strife, some maddening drama and trauma. Story within the story was a little strange, but at the end we understand how it can play together in the book as a whole.
I appreciated the siblings storyline, as well as the dynamics at work for mothers.
Anne is a beautiful writer, woven in is the depiction of the times, the feelings of the people and the workings of dis function in a family.
Overall enjoyable without any excitement.
