Llegó a tiempo pero algo golpeado y maltratado. Review: How Ann Patchett accomplishes her miracles may never be understood by those of us who cannot accomplish miracles. I love this book. Patchett is a generous, warm-hearted writer who builds stories that can take one's breath away, stories based in warm reality and "painted" so vividly that I feel as though I have been to northern Michigan's lakes and seen the endless rows of cherry trees that live in this story. Whether she writes fiction (The Dutch House, Tom Lake) or non-fiction (These Precious Days), there is always the generosity, warmth and open-heartedness. I would give this writer the moon and 100 stars if I could.

Lara's three grown up daughters have returned to the family farm to help with the cherry harvest during the pandemic lockdown. Over the years, they've heard bits and pieces of their mother's brief, but quite successful career as an actress, and now they persuade her to share more about her relationship with now famous Hollywood actor Peter Duke. Switching between the 1980s and the present, this tale tenderly tells of Lara's youth in New Hampshire, leaving her university to travel to LA after being spotted by a talent scout in a college play. At summer stock theatre, she meets Duke and they immediately embark on a relationship - it is as if Lara has no choice, swept away as she is by her charismatic co-star. Events come to a head when Lara injures her Achilles tendon, the mess of intertwined relationships with Duke's brother Sebastian and another actress Pallace, captured beautifully. What also slowly emerges is how Lara ended up marrying husband Joe and on a farm in Michigan as a result of that summer stock, sweetly connecting the threads. Some parts of the story, Lara leaves unspoken - those are her memories only and not for sharing, no matter how close the family dynamics are. Clearly, the author has used her love of the play Our Town to weave this wonderful story of where we think we are going, and where life takes us.
