I love Ann Patchett. I love Meryl Streep. I love "Our Town".

So, yeah, I loved this book on audio.

⭐⭐⭐⭐✨/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A novel about three generations of women each being about 15 years apart. Mother, daughter and granddaughter. They are trying to figure out their own lives and trying to keep the granddaughter from repeating the pregnancy at 15 cycle. The daughter has suffered from a stroke. Of course there is much drama all the time. Challenges abound, but also you can feel the love. 4/5⭐️

This was an ok read. It helped giving my head a break from some heavy stuff going on around. The writing was good but story-wise, I liked Bel Canto a lot better.

Amiable I loved this book and didn‘t care for “Bel Canto” at all. It‘s so interesting to see how the same books invoke completely opposite reactions from different readers! 3w

It‘s really rare that I listen to audiobooks, but I‘d heard that this one, read/performed by Meryl Streep, was exceptional—and that was absolutely the case! Both the book itself and the reading were outstanding, and this kept my mind occupied on a long road trip last week. So so good.

I enjoyed this book for most of it until she agreed to have unprotected sex with Duke in a nuthouse bathroom after he cheated on and abandoned her two years earlier which resulted in a pregnancy and abortion. Idiot. Otherwise it was good writing with a lot of subtlety. But that ruined it for me. This was a new to me author. Doing well for this 2025 challenge!

I'm a big fan of Ann Patchett, but this story was not my favourite. Also, it refers to the play "Our Town" constantly, which is not as well known outside of the USA, so I assume I missed a lot of clever parallels?

Eggs Great choice 👏🏻👏🏻 1mo
