![]() We then see over the years Mercy’s life with her family, and how when her children are all grown up, she moves out of the family home. One of the central characters is Mercy, Serena’s Grandmother who we meet in 1959 on a family holiday with husband Robin and children Alice, Lily and David. Over the chapters of the book, we revisit three generations of the Garretts to see maybe why this is not the case for them. Her boyfriend scoffs at this as he is very close to his family and knows all his cousins. They meet her cousin who she hardly recognises. We meet the Garrett family through the eyes of Serena, who with her boyfriend is returning home from meeting his parents for the first time. If this seems boring, it is strangely not. All the characters are very similar, just with different names, but I must get on with this review of French Braid. Anyone who has read her books will know they are all very similar and all set in the U.S city of Baltimore, usually about a member of a family that is very ordinary, just a little like us. I am a big fan of her books and I think I have read all of them. ![]() I received a copy of Anne Tyler’s new book as a present.
