Tom Lake: A Reese's Book Club Pick
Description
1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICKIn 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
