Ann Patchett on the inspirations for new book, 'Tom Lake'
Amid the pandemic, a woman tells her three now-grown daughters a story of her youth, a love affair, a path she might have taken but didn’t. While they, in turn, tell her of their hopes and fears for the future. That's the story told in “Tom Lake,” the latest novel by renowned writer Ann Patchett. Jeffrey Brown joined her in New Hampshire for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
