I agree Parikhit.. It does seem like a gem so far.. In 6th chapter and somehow remember all the family dramas common t..."

Indeed. Its one of those books that you read on a Sunday afternoon, reflecting upon your own family.

At 49% of A spool of blue thread.
Abby is reminescing over her childhood and youth . And I so connect with it. I too have a wish to go back in time and David each and every moment.

loving this book as of now.. it resonates within.

Am left wondering about the title ...

[Ahtims]

At 61% - they reached that stage of packing where it seemed they'd created more mess than they'd cleared out -
totally resonate
ALWAYS happens to me

(view spoiler)[ At Half way through ..having Abby die was such a jolt. Never thought of.the possibility much . Thofurh her reminiscences about who would survive should have given me a clue.as to what is going to happen next .

This is such an entertaining spool of family myths. We are guilty to certain extent of embellishing facts out of context to create legends :D
Book2 and Book 3 gives a more clear picture

[Girish, The Good cop]

Same here. Did not see the spoiler coming!

[Ahtims]

Literally the title will only appear at the end.

Doesn't this book incite nostalgia? There is so much subtlety, so much to ponder about.

(view spoiler)[ Truth be told, I was saddened by Abby's death too. I kept thinking it was heading towards Alzheimer's but it was sudden (hide spoiler)]

[Ahtims]

Yes... finished it..

[Girish, The Good cop]

Finished it.. Definitely liked it.. In fact, one of the few books where I did not mind the loose ends. And I loved the almost careless way in which critical information was given.

(view spoiler)[ What did you think of Junior and Linny's mysterious accident? It almost seemed like a cuetip from Book 3.
And the title reference - It seems too straightforward. (hide spoiler)]

Well I didn't like Junior to be very honest! I found him to be quite selfish as far was Linny was concerned.

The title reference. May be it was quite straightforward or it could be deeper too. A spool of stories that trace back to the beginning only to end abruptly much like the Whitshank ancestry. Blue could be an afterthought.

[Ahtims]

I dislikes Junior too
And what a drastic difference between his and his wife's recollection of how they married!!!!

Yes... spool can be direct as well as indirect association.

Red was much likeable than junior .
