Caroline, you are so astute. I read Tom Lake and loved it, but your analysis revealed why I loved it and how it was done. So glad I subscribe to your channel. Bel Canto was the first Ann Patchett I read, years ago. I highly recommend it.
You’re so welcome. I am of a different generation, born in 1960 (ok boomer) I caught the literary fiction bug reading Salinger in high school, which seems so sophomoric now(in fact, I think I was a sophomore) I went through a Henry Miller phase, Martin Amis, Saul Bellow. Recently though, I have a growing appreciation for the feminine voice: Munro, Patchett, Lisa Ko, loved Jane Smiley’s

So enjoyed your discussion on Tom Lake! My first Anne Patchett book, but won’t be my last!
