Pulitzer Odullu Amerikali roman yazari Anne Tyler’in dogum gunu (25 Ekim 1941)
“Sarilarla ve yesillerle bezeli, esintili, sahane bir ogleden sonraydi.Iste Abby, kocasi Red Whitshank’e asik oldugu gunu boyle anlatmaya baslardi. Birlikte dort cocuk buyuten Abby ve Red iyisiyle kotusuyle nice anilar biriktirmisti. Genis ailelerinde kahkaha ve neseyle dolu gunler oldugu kadar kiskancliklar, hayal kirikliklari ve buyuk sirlar da vardi ancak ne yasanirsa yasansin onlari bir arada tutan bag asla zayiflamazdi. Ve simdi 1900’lerin basindan 21. yuzyila uzanan bu siradisi ailenin ucuncu kusagi, Red ve Abby’den kalan gosterisli, eski Whitshank Evi’yle ve onlardan geriye kalan manevi mirasla bas basa.” Mavi Makara
"It was a beautiful, breezy, yellow-and-green afternoon." This is how Abby Whitshank always begins the story of how she fell in love with Red that day in July 1959. The Whitshanks are one of those families that radiate togetherness: an indefinable, enviable kind of specialness. But they are also like all families, in that the stories they tell themselves reveal only part of the picture. Abby and Red and their four grown children have accumulated not only tender moments, laughter, and celebrations, but also jealousies, disappointments, and carefully guarded secrets. from Red's father and mother, newly-arrived in Baltimore in the 1920s, to Abby and Red's grandchildren carrying the family legacy boisterously into the twenty-first century, here are four generations of Whitshanks, their lives unfolding in and around the sprawling, lovingly worn Baltimore house that has always been their anchor.”
