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 wasnt famous at all. Its 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. Its spring and Laras three grown daughters have returned to the family orchard. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the one story theyve 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.
