Join the Adult Book Club for a discussion of our latest selection 'French Braid' by Anne Tyler. For Adults

'French Braid' is classic Anne Tyler: an insightful novel of warmth and humor that illuminates the  kindnesses and cruelties of life. The Garretts take their only family vacation in the summer of 1959.  Mercy has aspirations to be a painter, which means less time for her husband Robin. Their teenage  daughters, steady Alice and boy-crazy Lily, could not have less in common. Their youngest, David, is already intent on escaping his family's orbit. Yet as these lives advance, the Garretts' influence on one another ripples through each generation, much like French-braided hair keeps its waves even after it is undone.

If you would like a copy of the book, please drop by Baldwin Park Library to pick up a copy or check the catalog for a digital copy.
