Dear Bookclub,
Ann Patchett's "Commonwealth" was a welcome read while R&R'ing it in Naples, FL this past week. Filling my head with lots of ideas and images (see above), the romp through decades of one 'family's' journey will give us lots to discuss this Wednesday at Terry's. Feeling a familiar thread as I read, I revisited Patchett interviews and confirmed the voice from a Terry Gross interview for "This is the Story of a Happy Marriage" - (one of my very favorite books!!):

I knew these stories underlying "Commonwealth"; straight outta Patchett.
Just as interesting, AP's discussion from the Diane Rehm interview (if you can't listen, hit the transcript button and quickly take it in):

The book cover is too beautiful not to include:
The secret edition has patterned endpapers featuring:
Happy Reading,
