The art of storytelling

Tom Lake is a lovely story. Ann Patchett paints a beautiful picture of both present and past in this novel. The story is set in during the pandemic when a family with adult children are all living together. The mother is slowly sharing the story of a summer of her life. I listened to the audiobook then purchased this because I know I will come back to it again and again.

Another Wonderful Book by Ann Patchett.

She such a good author. I have read two other books by the same author—Bel Canto and The Dutch House. This book is about family and growing up. I can empathize.
