«El hilo azul» is Anne Tyler's family novel, published by Lumen in hardcover, with 480 pages, in Spanish.
The Whitshanks, a middle-class family settled in Baltimore since 1920, appear to be a united clan, but they harbor jealousy, disappointments and deceit. The plot jumps from the summer of 1959, when Abby meets Red, to the present with their four adult children, and shows how family bonds survive the silences.
Original title: A Spool of Blue Thread. The novel was nominated for the Booker Prize and the Women's Prize for Fiction in 2015.
For readers of contemporary fiction and family sagas, including those in book clubs.
