Join us as we discuss Tom Lake by Ann Patc hett. According to www.goodreads.com:< /a>
\nIn the spring of 2020\, Lara&rsquo\;s three daughters return t o 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 wi th whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater co mpany called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past\, her daughters examine th eir own lives and relationship with their mother\, and are forced to recon sider the world and everything they thought they knew.
\nTom 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 explor es what it means to be happy even when the world is falling apart. As in a ll of her novels\, Ann Patchett combines compelling narrative artistry wit h piercing insights into family dynamics. The result is a rich and luminou s story\, told with profound intelligence and emotional subtlety\, that de monstrates once again why she is one of the most revered and acclaimed lit erary talents working today.
