![]() ![]() ![]() A very ordinary day with her four children, husband and assorted. Redhead by the Side of the Road is an intimate look into the heart and mind of a man who sometimes finds those around him just out of reach - and a love story about the differences that make us all unique. A Spool of Blue Thread explores the Whitshank family, starting with the matriarch, Abby. And when a teenager shows up at Micah's door claiming to be his son, Micah is confronted with another surprise he seems poorly equipped to handle. Anne Tyler’s A Spool of Blue Thread, the 20th novel by the Pultizer Prize-winning author, is loaded with ideas and potentially fascinating storylines that are extended throughout the book. His woman friend Cassia (he refuses to call anyone in her late thirties a 'girlfriend') tells him she's facing eviction because of a cat. ![]() But then the order of things starts to tilt. He is content with the steady balance of his life. He measures out his days running errands for work - his TECH HERMIT sign cheerily displayed on the roof of his car - maintaining an impeccable cleaning regime and going for runs (7:15, every morning). His numerous sisters and in-laws regard him oddly but very fondly, but he has his ways and means of navigating the world. Micah Mortimer isn't the most polished person you'll ever meet. From the bestselling author of A Spool of Blue Thread: an offbeat love story about mis-steps, second chances and the elusive art of human connection ![]()
