 /p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p>\n<p>"In the spring of 2020\, Lara's
  three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. Whil
 e 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 yea
 rs 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.</p>\n<p>Tom Lake is a meditation on youthful love\, married love\, a
 nd the lives parents have led before their children were born. Both hopefu
 l 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 compelli
 ng narrative artistry with piercing insights into family dynamics. The res
 ult is a rich and luminous story\, told with profound intelligence and emo
 tional subtlety\, that demonstrates once again why she is one of the most 
 revered and acclaimed literary talents working today."</p>\n<p></p>\nhttps
