“One of the most beloved authors of her generation” - SUNDAY TIMES.
There is more love in every story than we choose to tell... It is spring and Lara’s three adult daughters have returned to the family orchard. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story they have always longed to hear – about the movie star she shared a stage and a romantic relationship with, years ago.
Tom Lake is a reflection on young love, married life, and the lives parents lead before their children are born. Both hopeful and melancholy, it explores the meaning of happiness even as the world falls apart.
“One of the greatest contemporary chroniclers of love and marriage... Expect a miracle; Patchett always delivers” - ELLE.
