«Si Anne Tyler no es la mejor escritora del mundo, quién lo es? . --BBC

En 2010, Serena y James regresan a Baltimore desde Filadelfia, donde ella ha conocido a los padres de él y ha podido hacerse una idea del concepto tan distinto que ambos tienen de la familia. Durante el viaje, Serena revisa el pasado de la suya. Contada en varios tiempos, la historia de los Garrett comienza en 1959, cuando su abuelo Robin hace algo insólito: dejar el negocio en manos de su ayudante y disfrutar de unos días con los suyos en una cabaña del lago Deep Creek. Son las primeras vacaciones familiares, pero para entonces están ya muy alejados los unos de los otros: su mujer, Mercy, se debate entre su pasión por la pintura y hacerse cargo del cuidado del hogar, como dicta la sociedad; sus hijas adolescentes, Alice y Lily, no pueden ser más opuestas, y en cuanto al benjamín, David, anhela escapar de la órbita familiar, aunque nadie entiende por qué. Con el paso de los años, todos irán descubriendo la imposibilidad de liberarnos de quienes nos aman, y lo cercana y a la vez desconocida que resulta cada familia para sí misma.

Con su calidez y humor característicos, Anne Tyler ilumina las bondades y maldades de nuestra vida cotidiana, y la inefable naturaleza de los lazos familiares.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER - From the beloved Pulitzer Prize-winning author--a funny, joyful, brilliantly perceptive journey deep into one Baltimore family's foibles, from a boyfriend with a red Chevy in the 1950s up to a longed-for reunion with a grandchild in our pandemic present.

The Garretts take their first and last family vacation in the summer of 1959. They hardly ever leave home, but in some ways, they have never been farther apart. Mercy has trouble resisting the siren call of her aspirations to be a painter, which means less time keeping house for her husband, Robin. Their teenage daughters, steady Alice and boy-crazy Lily could not have less in common. Their youngest, David, is already intent on escaping his family's orbit, for reasons none of them understand. Yet, as these lives advance across decades, the Garretts' influences on one another ripple ineffably but unmistakably through each generation.

Full of heartbreak and hilarity, French Braid is classic Anne Tyler: a stirring, uncannily insightful novel of tremendous warmth and humor that illuminates the kindnesses and cruelties of our daily lives, the impossibility of breaking free from those who love us, and how close--yet how unknowable--every family is to itself.
