Anne Tyler is one of my favourite writers and this is a delicious book. It is like being with a dear old friend. It is very special
Anne Tyler is the most natural of novelist... I know no other novelist who draws so directly from real life, and whose work remains so uncontaminated by the shortcuts and cliches of television and Hollywood... A Spool of Blue Thread may be her best yet
Daily Mail
One of the most accomplished writers working today... A must-read
Good Housekeeping
Exquisite
The Times
Her terrain is the family, and the micro-interactions between both its members and interlopers from without; her tone is superficially uncomplicated, her insights culmulative, her mode of realist fiction essentially conventional... its power derives from the restless depths beneath its unfractured surface
Guardian
Perfects the intimate, easy style that makes reading her such a pleasure
Metro
When it comes to painting a loving, funny and yet never simplistic portrait of American family life, Anne Tyler is, and always has been, the great mistress
Financial Times
Deftly written with skilful characterisation... A master of conversation
Daily Express
<b>A rich and perceptive examination</b> of uneven family relationships
Yorkshire Post
Tyler's twentieth novel finds fresh fictional riches in imaginative territory she has been exploring for half a century... Atmospherically rendered, the passage of time has both entertaining and heart-rending results. She has never written with more finesse, vitality and acuteness
Sunday Times, book of the year
