1098. Anne Tyler - French Braid


Never read any before, and found this beautifully written but hard work to read. Like a porcelain statue.

The plot, as I remember it, involved a family with two very contrary daughters, one straight-laced, the other promiscuous, and an arty mother who wants some space for her painting and moves out of the family home into a studio apartment for this purpose, without ever quite telling her husband that she is leaving him. That is really all I can remember, but it is now (24/10) a few weeks since I read it.
