Description
Ann Patchett's new novel, Tom Lake, is a poignant exploration of love, family, and the lives we lead before we have children. When Lara's three grown daughters ask her to tell them the story of her past, she begins to recount the tale of a romance that took place years before they were born.
This meditation on youthful love, married love, and the complexities of parenthood is both hopeful and elegiac, inviting readers to reflect on what it means to be happy even in the face of uncertainty.
With its thoughtful prose and nuanced exploration of the human experience, Tom Lake is a powerful and moving novel that will linger long after the final page is turned.
