The Library's Third Thursday Book Club meets to discuss COMMONWEALTH by Ann Patchett.
Book Description:
The bestselling author tells the enthralling story of how an unexpected romantic encounter irrevocably changes two families' lives. One Sunday afternoon in Southern California, Bert Cousins shows up at Franny Keating's christening party uninvited. Before evening falls, he has kissed Franny's mother, Beverly--thus setting in motion the dissolution of their marriages and the joining of two families. Spanning five decades and told with humor and heartbreak, Commonwealth explores how this chance encounter reverberates through the lives of the four parents and six children involved.
