Thanks for the warning, Jon!

Thanks, Hanneke. I'm clearly in the minority here, as most people seem to find it charming. Which it is, but the story really lacks drive.

Jon, I honestly appreciate your review! I am sure your feeling about this novel is correct. I am checking which Ann Patchett novels I would like to read next since I so loved ‘Bel Canto’ like you did. Have a nice Sunday, Jon!

I enjoyed this least of all her novels I’ve read.

Hi Lynn, I am just being curious: which novels of Ann Patchett did you enjoy very much?

I’m seeing Our Town on Broadway soon and I’ve read this was influenced by Our Town

It is indeed a major touchstone. Which initially lured me in, having played Stage Manager myself back in high school.

I couldn’t get into this either. BEL CANTO is a favorite.

I started it once - DNF but went back and read it. Not my favorite Pathchett - loved Bel Canto, Commonwealth, Dutch House.

Thanks, Carol! If I venture back into Patchett-land, I will try one of those later two.
