SUMMARY:Book Ends: Tom Lake
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion on Tom Lake (2023\, Literary Fiction) 
 by Ann Patchett (309 pages\, 4/5 stars on Goodreads).\n\nIn this beautiful 
 and moving novel about family\, love\, and growing up\, Ann Patchett once 
 again proves herself one of America’s finest writers.\n\nIn 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.\n\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 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.\n\nCopies of the book will be distributed during the previous 
 meeting and then will be available at the front desks at Centerville and 
 Woodbourne Library.The title is available in Regular Print\, Large Print\, 
 CD Book\, eBook\, and eAudiobook.
