THIS SUMMER, DIVE INTO TOM LAKE - THE BREATH-TAKING NEW NOVEL FROM ANN PATCHETT

'One of our greatest living chroniclers of love and marriage . Expect wonder; Patchett always delivers' ELLE

This is a story about Peter Duke who went on to be a famous actor.
This is a story about falling in love with Peter Duke who wasn't famous at all.
It's about falling so wildly in love with him - the way one will at twenty-four - that it felt like jumping off a roof at midnight.
There was no way to foresee the mess it would come to in the end.

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 have led before their children were born. Both hopeful and elegiac, it explores what it means to be happy even when the world is falling apart.

Review

One of our greatest living chroniclers of love and marriage - and its resounding impacts over generations - is back this summer ... Expect wonder; Patchett always delivers - Elle

Patchett's intricate and subtle thematic web ... enfolds the nature of storytelling, the evolving dynamics of a family, and the complex interaction between destiny and choice ... These braided strands culminate in a denouement at once deeply sad and tenderly life-affirming. Poignant and reflective, cementing Patchett's stature as one of our finest novelists - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Masterly ... A love letter to both storytelling itself and the bonds that tie family and friends together,
Patchett has once again worked her unique brand of magic with this gentle, tender story that glows with heart and humanity

- Bookseller, Book of the Month
