"Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal.”
This book is both at the same time.
Tom Lake took my breath away. It is such a loving and gentle exploration of love, family, youth, and the ties that bind people together. The mastery of language displayed by Ann Patchett would send me into the most lovely daydreams, and I felt like I was in the room with the whole family.
