French Braid by Anne Tyler Book Summary

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.

Don’t read it.. Honestly, it’s the worst book I’ve ever read.

Boring. This started out well but then became scattered and disjointed. It was disappointing.

I am a Tyler fan. I am a major Anne Tyler fan and enjoy all her books. This one I enjoyed best up to the year 2020 chapter. The character David was never made compelling and the focus on him did not interest me as much as the others. So I think the book lost a bit of its grip for me at the end.

French Braid. I also am a big Tyler fan. Her stories are always about people that I feel like I know so when the book is finished I feel a little like I lost a friend and want to somehow stay in touch. French Braid is a little different. The book’s main characters, the Garrets live like most of us do, for years that are reported as the family grows. It’s a little different format for Tyler. I loved it.

This is the most boring book I have ever read.. That says it all. It's painfully boring.

The French Braid. Easy reading. The first 3/4 of the book were interesting and the characters came to life. But the last 1/3 was mostly boring and moved too quickly through generations.

Not a fan. One of the most boring books I have ever read. Do not recommend. The characters are bizarre and totally unrealistic. Mercy is exceptionally annoying and odd. Could not finish it. Total dysfunctional family. No point to the story except a boring life.

French Braid. Boring!!!!!!
