A new novel by a beloved classic author. Warm, slightly ironic, insightful. It's another journey into the world of an ordinary family. From the 1950s, when a shiny red Chevrolet honks outside, to our days, overshadowed by a pandemic. In the summer of 1959, the Garretts embark on their first and last family vacation. They hardly leave the rented cottage, but in a sense, they have never been so far apart. After that trip, almost imperceptibly, but more confidently, they begin to drift apart. Mercy struggles to resist the urge - she so badly wants to become an artist. But then who will take care of the house, cook meals for her husband Robin? Her daughters, the balanced Alice and boy-crazy Lily, are completely different and can't find common ground. Their younger brother David, who left to study, is almost cutting ties with the family. Yet something connects them all, despite all disagreements and misunderstandings, something intangible. And each member of this seemingly divided family influences the lives of the others. Because family is something deeper than just blood relations, family is like a French braid: you think you've escaped from your relatives, but you can't break free from them, they, like the strands of a braid, are still intertwined. Full of love for people, hope, joy, mixed with bitterness, "French Braid" is a classic story by Anne Tyler. An amazingly insightful novel about the depths of family, about the impossibility of breaking free from those who love us.
