À propos de cet audio

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the beloved Pulitzer Prize–winning author of A Spool of Blue Thread—a funny, joyful, brilliantly perceptive journey deep into one Baltimore family’s foibles, from a boyfriend with a red Chevy in the 1950s up to a longed-for reunion with a grandchild.

“A quietly subversive novel, tackling fundamental assumptions about womanhood, motherhood and female aging.” —The New York Times Book Review

The Garretts take their first and last family vacation in the summer of 1959. They hardly ever leave home, but in some ways they have never been farther 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 understand. Yet, as these lives advance across decades, the Garretts' influences on one another ripple ineffably but unmistakably through each generation.

Full of heartbreak and hilarity, French Braid is classic Anne Tyler: a stirring, uncannily insightful novel of tremendous warmth and humor that illuminates the kindnesses and cruelties of our daily lives, the impossibility of breaking free from those who love us, and how close—yet how unknowable—every family is to itself.

I was disappointed in the story; it has big holes and unfinished business. I suppose I just really didn't like where it all ended up. I was very disheartened by the protagonist so it just wasn't my kind of book.

fell short of expectations

Great story
Tyler at her finest
Most remarkable is Kimberly Farr.
She was the narrator for/Olive Kitteredge
She is fantastic
Great actor who brings each character, no matter how diverse from the last, a unique and easily identifiable voice

This is a perfect combination

I highly recommend

The narrators voice is irritating. The prose is very simple. A strange boring family. I’m surprised this book was published.
