#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A REESE’S BOOK CLUB PICK • READ BY MERYL STREEP
In this beautiful and moving novel about family, love, and growing up, Ann Patchett once again proves herself one of America’s finest writers.
“Patchett leads us to a truth that feels like life rather than literature.” —The Guardian
In the spring of 2020, Lara’s three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew.
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. As in all of her novels, Ann Patchett combines compelling narrative artistry with piercing insights into family dynamics. The result is a rich and luminous story, told with profound intelligence and emotional subtlety, that demonstrates once again why she is one of the most revered and acclaimed literary talents working today.

Een heerlijk romantisch hedendaags boek om in je comfortabele stoel mee weg te zakken. Een echte pageturner. En fijn voorgelezen door Meryl Streep

I have listened to every book off Anne Patchett , some even twice like the Dutch House and Run, but this book did not do much for me I am sorry to say. Nice enough, that’s all.But Meryl Streep gets full marks for her reading!!

Vanaf het eerste moment zit je erin. Prachtig, ontroerend, soms herkenbaar, page-turner. Alles klopt tot de laatste bladzijde. Bijna alsof Patchett het geschreven heeft met Meryl Streep als verteller in haar hoofd. Handig om van tevoren even op te zoeken wat “summer stock” betekent en wat over het toneelstuk “Our town” te lezen. (Deed ik pas aant eind en wou dat ik dat eerder had gedaan.

I love Ann Patchett’s writing and this book is no exception. Delightful, complex story and Meryl Streep as a narrator, an absolute gem.

I loved listening Meryl Streep reading this book. It’s a good story, really. But I also think it is nog Patchett’s best one.

Wat een performance van Meryl Streep, geweldig. Het verhaal zelf voelde als een zomer. Het omschreef een geschiedenis die ik niet per sé heel origineel of pakkend vond, maar wel mooi omschreven was en vermakelijk genoeg om helemaal uit te lezen. Wat zeker ook door de voorlezer kwam! Aanrader als je van niet al te zwaar maar toch kwalitatief schrijfwerk houdt.
