Genre: Fiction

Recommended by bookseller Karin Scherer:

This is Ann Patchett’s powerful new story (I really loved both the award-winning “Bel Canto” and the exciting “State of Wonder”) which begins at a christening party in 1960s America, follows how two families are torn apart by tragedy over five decades. There is heartbreak but there is a lot of humour as well. It is a story of love, betrayal and responsibility.
