Product Information
"Exquisite. . .Commonwealth is impossible to put down." -- New York Times #1 New York Times Bestseller NBCC Award Finalist New York Times Best Book of the Year USA Today Best Book TIME Magazine Top 10 Selection Oprah Favorite Book New York Magazine Best Book of The Year The acclaimed, bestselling author--winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize--tells the enthralling story of how an unexpected romantic encounter irrevocably changes two families' lives. One Sunday afternoon in Southern California, Bert Cousins shows up at Franny Keating's christening party uninvited. Before evening falls, he has kissed Franny's mother, Beverly--thus setting in motion the dissolution of their marriages and the joining of two families. Spanning five decades, Commonwealth explores how this chance encounter reverberates through the lives of the four parents and six children involved. Spending summers together in Virginia, the Keating and Cousins children forge a lasting bond that is based on a shared disillusionment with their parents and the strange and genuine affection that grows up between them. When, in her twenties, Franny begins an affair with the legendary author Leon Posen and tells him about her family, the story of her siblings is no longer hers to control. Their childhood becomes the basis for his wildly successful book, ultimately forcing them to come to terms with their losses, their guilt, and the deeply loyal connection they feel for one another. Told with equal measures of humor and heartbreak, Commonwealth is a meditation on inspiration, interpretation, and the ownership of stories. It is a brilliant and tender tale of the far-reaching ties of love and responsibility that bind us together.

Reviews

Irresistible.", Commonwealth is a sly book about storytelling, a story about a single incident - really two pivotal incidents - spun out over the length of a narrative constructed like a conversation but encompassing decades., Patchett brings humanity, humor, and a disarming affection to lovable, struggling characters... Irresistible., Reading Commonwealth is a transporting experience… It feels like Patchett's most intimate novel and is without doubt one of her best., "… the emotional intelligence of Patchett's storytelling here feels warmer and richer and more resonant than anything she's done before."

[An] ambitious American epic..." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Patchett's storytelling has never seemed more effortlessly graceful. This is minimalism that magically speaks volumes..." -- Washington Post "The genius of the way Patchett approached Commonwealth is that it's constructed like a puzzle...

Because this book?

Readers will fly through it... the tale is so rich and the plot is so wildly addicting, readers won't be able to put it down until they've turned the final page.
