Recenzii

A bittersweet tale of family, heartbreak and hope ... Those who want fiction to soothe, bolster and cheer will love it
A beautiful, stirring book that sneaks up on you and makes a deep impression ... The moment I finished it, I wanted to go back and start again
Few authors can dig into the minutiae of human emotion quite like the Women's Prize-winning author, and Tom Lake is one of her best ... Flitting between past and present, the novel spools out like a film, and ponders timeless questions about love, family and destiny
Thoughtful and elegiac in its descriptions of first love and motherhood ... Patchett celebrates not just the smallest events of our lives, but 'small' lives themselves
Patchett is always great on family dysfunction, and these scenes prickle to life
A twinned narrative of a past young love, present day nostalgia and the complex, intertwined connections between mothers and daughters ... Enchanting and bittersweet, it is another tour de force from Patchett
A deeply American story of love, heartbreak and wistful old age ... We're in nostalgic summer romance territory, and Tom Lake delivers the expected emotional pay-off
Completely absorbing
Elegant, gloriously immersive, beautifully imagined, funny and tender, this is an elegy to family love, even when the world is a state of crisis and uncertainty. Ann Patchett leads us with the intelligence, detail, wit and nuance of the greatest chroniclers of human nature and relationships. Nothing escapes her
Filled with the moments I live for in a story - careful, compelling insights into human nature, the most effortless humour, and the kind of vivid descriptions that reveal exactly how something is
One of our greatest living chroniclers of love and marriage - and its resounding impacts over generations - is back this summer ... Expect wonder; Patchett always delivers
Patchett's intricate and subtle thematic web ... enfolds the nature of storytelling, the evolving dynamics of a family, and the complex interaction between destiny and choice ... These braided strands culminate in a denouement at once deeply sad and tenderly life-affirming. Poignant and reflective, cementing Patchett's stature as one of our finest novelists
Masterly ... A love letter to both storytelling itself and the bonds that tie family and friends together, Patchett has once again worked her unique brand of magic with this gentle, tender story that glows with heart and humanity
