Tom Lake: A Novel

Description

[ MP3 CD Format ][Narrated/Read by Meryl Streep]In 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
