Description
1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK READ BY MERYL STREEPIn
this beautiful and moving novel about family, love, and growing up, Ann
Patchett once again proves herself one of America’s finest writers.“Patchett
leads us to a truth that feels like life rather than literature.” —The
GuardianIn the spring of 2020, Lara’s three daughters return to the family’s
orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to
tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a
stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara
recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with
their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they
thought they knew.Tom Lake is a meditation on youthful love, married love, and
the lives parents have led before their children were born. Both hopeful and
elegiac, it explores what it means to be happy even when the world is falling
apart. As in all of her novels, Ann Patchett combines compelling narrative
artistry with piercing insights into family dynamics. The result is a rich and
luminous story, told with profound intelligence and emotional subtlety, that
demonstrates once again why she is one of the most revered and acclaimed
literary talents working today. Read more
