- Synopsis
-
A bewitching new novel of family and self-discovery from the bestselling, award-winning author of A Spool of Blue Thread.
Willa Drake can count on one hand the defining moments of her life.
In 1967, she is a schoolgirl coping with her mother's sudden disappearance.
In 1977, she is a college coed considering a marriage proposal.
In 1997, she is a young widow trying to piece her life back together.
And in 2017, she yearns to be a grandmother, yet the prospect is dimming.
So, when Willa receives a phone call from a stranger, telling her that her son's ex-girlfriend has been shot, she drops everything and flies across the country to Baltimore.
The impulsive decision to look after this woman and her nine-year-old daughter will lead Willa into uncharted territory--surrounded by eccentric neighbors, plunged into the rituals that make a community a family and forced to find solace in unexpected places.
A bittersweet, probing novel of hope and grief, fulfillment and renewal, Clock Dance gives us Anne Tyler at the height of her powers.
