Description
It is 1964: Bert Cousins shows up at Franny Keating’s christening party uninvited and notices a heart stoppingly beautiful woman. When he kisses Beverly Keating, his host’s wife, he sets in motion the joining of two families, whose shared fate will be defined on a day seven years later.
In 1988, Franny Keating, now twenty-four, is working as a cocktail waitress in Chicago. When she meets the famous author Leon Posen one night at the bar, and tells him about her family, she unwittingly relinquishes control over their story…
Commentaires
'The book that really stood out for me was Ann Patchett’s novel Commonwealth. It’s so beautifully structured, and the characters are subtle and three-dimensional.' (Jojo Moyes)
'Commonwealth is full of heart, and is Patchett’s most complex and emotionally suspenseful novel. She never hits a wrong note although she conjures with many deftly drawn characters.' (Louise Erdrich, author of The Beet Queen)
'Ann Patchett’s Commonwealth: A novel is a sprawling, but very precise depiction of two families exploding and coming together, exploding and coming together.' (Roddy Doyle)
