The breathtaking new novel from Ann Patchett – a Sunday Times and No. 1 New York Times bestseller
‘Filled with the moments I live for in a story’
BONNIE GARMUS, author of Lessons in Chemistry
‘[Tom Lake] has it all ... Young love, sibling rivalry and deep mother-daughter relationships’
REESE WITHERSPOON
‘One of the most beloved authors of her generation’
SUNDAY TIMES
There's more to every love story than what we choose to tell...
It’s spring and Lara’s three grown daughters have returned to the family orchard. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the one story they’ve always longed to hear – of the film star with whom she shared a stage, and a romance, years before.
Tom Lake is a meditation on youthful love, married love, and the lives parents lead before their children are born. Both hopeful and elegiac, it explores what it means to be happy even when the world is falling apart.
‘One of our greatest living chroniclers of love and marriage … Expect wonder; Patchett always delivers’ ELLE
