The french braid anne tyler5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, if you could tell me how I can be myself yet still be close with my extended family…that’s worth reading about. I don’t know…I’m kind of sad about having distance from various members of my extended family, for one reason or another, and I’m just not that interested in the concept. The whole point of the book is the reasons why families splinter and fray. I felt there is no payoff for the set up in this book. I’m not a fan of this style though…it’s a series of dips into “key points” into the lives of an extended family, but Tyler kind of rips us off by not giving us a chance to really get to know any of the characters. It’s a fairly quick read, and well written. I was pretty excited to get Anne Tyler’s new novel, French Braid, in e-book form from the library pretty easily…and this is one I definitely recommend you get from the library. Pleasant, but doesn’t live up to the hype ![]()
