FRENCH BRAID is Anne Tyler at her best - giving readers a warm, wonderful glimpse of family life from the 1950s to the present, with all the heartbreak and hilarity expected - and much not anticipated. A truly fun read from the first page until the last.
THIS COPY (shown below) was hand signed by Anne Tyler on a page bound into the book. It is a new, unopened first edition and comes with a certificate authenticating the signature. Published in March, 2022 by Knopf, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
ANNE TYLER (pictured below from our Wall of Fame) credited her high school English teacher for her writing accomplishments. This is not unusual for successful writers, but it carries more weight when we discover that other students Phyllis Peacock taught at N.B. Broughton High School in Raleigh, North Carolina were Reynolds Price and Armistead Maupin. Anne Tyler was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize three times before winning the prestigious honor. She has won almost every award her craft has to offer and has written more than twenty books. She is one of her generation's most respected wordsmiths. Thank you Anne Tyler for signing our books.
