The Spirited Book Club: "Tom Lake" by Ann Patchett

Join us at the Romeoville Branch Library on the second Tuesday evening of most months for a spirited book discussion and light refreshments including a choice of beer, wine or a non alcoholic beverage.

This month's book is Tom Lake by Ann Patchett. 

"Tom Lake is a meditation on youthful love, married love, and the lives parents have led before their children were born. Both hopeful and elegiac, it explores what it means to be happy even when the world is falling apart. As in all of her novels, Ann Patchett combines compelling narrative artistry with piercing insights into family dynamics. The result is a rich and luminous story, told with profound intelligence and emotional subtlety, that demonstrates once again why she is one of the most revered and acclaimed literary talents working today."-Goodreads

This book will be available one month prior to the discussion and can be picked up at the Romeoville Branch Library's Adult Services Desk and will be due back one week after the book club date.
