«Una spola di filo blu» is Anne Tyler's family novel, published by Guanda in paperback (400 pages, in Italian).
The novel follows the Whitshank family over four generations in Baltimore. In 1959, Abby falls in love with Red under the porch of the house that will be the centre of her four children's lives. Sunday meals, repeated holidays and small traditions show a close-knit clan, though secrets, half-truths and inherited grudges coexist.
Original title: «A Spool of Blue Thread». The Italian edition is translated by Laura Pignatti and belongs to the Narratori della Fenice collection.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction who enjoy family portraits and multiple generations.
