Shannon Staub Book Club: "Tom Lake"

This month we will be reading and discussing "Tom Lake" by Ann Patchett.

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.

"Tom Lake" is available through our catalog, and as an eBook and an eAudiobook through CloudLibrary. Please visit our front desk or call 941-861-1744 to reserve a copy of the book.

We will be meeting in-person in the Shannon Staub Library Conference Room.
