“It was a beautiful, breezy, yellow-and-green afternoon. . . . ”
This is how Abby Whitshank always describes the day she fell in
love with Red in July 1959. The Whitshanks are one of those
families that radiate an indefinable kind of specialness, but
like all families, their stories reveal only part of the
picture: Abby and Red and their four grown children have
accumulated not only tender moments, laughter, and celebrations,
but also jealousies, disappointments, and carefully guarded
secrets. From Red’s parents, newly arrived in Baltimore in the
1920s, to the grandchildren carrying the Whitshank legacy
boisterously into the twenty-first century, here are four
generations of lives unfolding in and around the sprawling,
lovingly worn house that has always been their anchor.
“Well-crafted, utterly absorbing and compelling . . . probably
the best novel you will read all year.”—Chicago Tribune.
Characters: 110. Amazon rating: 3 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
