The selection for the March 19 meeting is Commonwealth by Ann Patchett. The acclaimed, bestselling author—winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize—tells the enthralling story of how an unexpected romantic encounter irrevocably changes two families’ lives.
“Patchett brings humanity, humor, and a disarming affection to lovable, struggling characters… Irresistible.” – Library Journal
“Commonwealth is an all-American family saga, but her touching and even-handed approach to themes such as family politics, love, the role of literature and the acidic nature of lies is buoyed by a generous sprinkling of matter-of-fact humor” – BookPage
