A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler is the replacement book I started reading after deciding to quit my previous book. It was such a relief to pick up this new book. Immediately, it felt more interesting. And it kept that interest level up throughout. It is the story of mostly two generations of a family (but also includes the children of the third generation as minor characters). It is also a story of a home--a physical house AND those who inhabit it. It backtracks in time and provides some unexpected surprises. It was a finalist for the Man Booker Prize in 2015. I gave the book 4 stars out of 5.
