Tom Lake by Ann Patchett

“The Loveliest Book You’ll Read This Year”

Tom Lake is a novel about love, family, and growing up set to the background of a cherry orchard.

“In the spring of 2020, Lara’s three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew”
