Description

Bert Cousins' unexpected visit to Franny Keating's christening party sets off a chain of events that will forever change the lives of two families. This enthralling story explores how a chance encounter reverberates through the lives of the four parents and six children involved over the course of five decades.

The Keating and Cousins families form a lasting bond, based on a shared disillusionment with their parents and a genuine affection that grows up between them. As the years pass, their childhood becomes the basis for a bestselling book, forcing them to come to terms with their losses, guilt, and the deeply loyal connection they feel for one another.

Told with equal measures of humor and heartbreak, Commonwealth is a meditation on inspiration, interpretation, and the ownership of stories. It is a brilliant and tender tale of the far-reaching ties of love and responsibility that bind us together.
