Featured Title:
French Braid
by Anne Tyler
|
|
Tyler's 24th
novel offers a wide-angle view of a Baltimore family across five
decades. At the center of the novel is the marriage between Robin and
Mercy Garrett. As their children grow up and leave the house, Mercy
rents an artist's studio to pursue her long-stifled dream. Gradually
she moves more and more of her possessions there but keeps news of
the separation from her children. Matters reach a head at the
couple's 50th wedding anniversary. Then the pandemic arrives,
changing the family dynamic.
“French
Braid is a quietly subversive novel, tackling fundamental
assumptions about womanhood, motherhood and female aging." —Jennifer Haigh, New York Times

Mansbach,

whole foods. But it's harder than it looks when these over-the-top
gagging, picky parents refuse to give things like broccoli and kale a
chance.

Hoopla
|
Hoopla offers movies, music, audiobooks, ebooks, comics, and video to enjoy on your computer, tablet, or phone. Access with your library card. There's never a wait list.
This week's featured Hoopla title is the audiobook of Stewart O'Nan's Ocean State. This novel opens with a murder and then reconstructs the events that led to the act of violence. The murderer Angel, her mother Carol, and the victim Birdy, all come alive on the page as they converge in a climax both tragic and inevitable. Watching over it all is the retrospective testimony of Angel's younger sister Marie, who reflects on that doomed autumn of 2009. Propulsive, moving, and deeply rendered.
