 ellow-and-green afternoon." This is the way Abby Whitshank always begins t
 he story of how she fell in love with Red that day in July 1959. The whole
  family -- their two daughters and two sons\, their grandchildren\, even t
 heir faithful old dog -- is on the porch\, listening contentedly as Abby t
 ells the tale they have heard so many times before. And yet this gathering
  is different too: Abby and Red are growing older\, and decisions must be 
 made about how best to look after them\, and the fate of the house so lovi
 ngly built by Red's father. Brimming with the luminous insight\, humor\, a
 nd compassion that are Anne Tyler's hallmarks\, this capacious novel takes
  us across three generations of the Whitshanks\, their shared stories and 
 long-held secrets\, all the unguarded and richly lived moments that combin
 e to define who and what they are as a family. -- Provided by publisher.</
