An irresistible collection of essays and testimonies from internationally acclaimed author Ann Patchett, known for her work "The Dutch House".
As a writer, Patchett understands that every story has its beginning and end. She reflects on this truth as she explores family, friendship, marriage, failure, success, and the meaning of it all.
As a literary alchemist, she turns her experiences into gold: essays that are simultaneously self-portrait and landscape, full of emotion and rich in insight.
From the personal – the portrait of the three men she called her fathers, her accidental friendship with Tom Hanks, to the subjective question of why she has no children – to the unexpected – the exploration of Harvard's Museum of Natural History before its doors opened, the influence of Snoopy, and the significance of knitting, each essay transforms the particular into the universal, allowing us all to see our worlds with fresh eyes.
Bright, insightful, funny, and generous, "These Precious Days" offer a joyful experience in the company of one of our greatest living writers.
