Anne Tyler’s fans were worried that her 2015 novel “A Spool of Blue Thread” might have been her last. How pleased and thankful are we all that she hasn’t gone into retirement because she just couldn’t stop writing? Her newest novel also takes us back to Baltimore (with a couple of short sidetracks) to hear Willa’s story; a woman who drifted through her 60 years of life, until a total stranger calls her, putting her on a path that will change everything. My review of this charming novel is on my blog now. Thanks for the free book, @prhinternational!

Set in 1992 in Boston, this coming-of-age story attempts to tackle the issues of class and race as from the viewpoint of David Greenfeld, one of the few white kids entering King Middle School. There David meets Marlon, a quite boy living in public housing down the block from David’s house, and somehow, they become unlikely friends. Together they’re hoping to get out of King and into the prestigious Latin school, which could pave their way to getting into college, maybe even Harvard. You can read more about this coming-of-age story in my review here.
