Extra Cup of Tea Time Book Club – Commonwealth: A Novel by Ann Patchett
The Extra Cup of Tea Time Book Club meets once a month on the fourth Thursday at 6 p.m. Each time we meet, we’ll enjoy tea and take some time to catch up and get to know each other. We’ll discuss the book of the month and everyone will have an opportunity to recommend a book for the group to vote on for upcoming months. This second monthly meeting has been added due to great interest!
The selection for the March 26 meeting is Commonwealth by Ann Patchett. The acclaimed, bestselling author—winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize—tells the enthralling story of how an unexpected romantic encounter irrevocably changes two families’ lives.
“Patchett brings humanity, humor, and a disarming affection to lovable, struggling characters… Irresistible.” – Library Journal
“Commonwealth is an all-American family saga, but her touching and even-handed approach to themes such as family politics, love, the role of literature and the acidic nature of lies is buoyed by a generous sprinkling of matter-of-fact humor” – BookPage
