I just love Ann Patchett. I'm sure I've already told the story about how I went to see her at a bookstore and wanted to ask her to come home and stay with me. She's just a delightful person. But she's also an author who consistently writes book I love to read.
Tom Lake takes place in northern Michigan on a cherry farm during the pandemic. Lara tells her daughters the story of her time one summer at Tom Lake when she was in her 20's. She was performing Old Town, and she was in love with one of the other actors - who later went on to become very famous.
The characters are simply wonderful as is the writing. Didn't want it to end.

thank you once again for recommending a wonderful book. I was having a bad day and escaped completely into this novel. I am also partial to Pachett.
