It was of six young children, negligently unsupervised, who are left to their own devices for seven hours in a strange motel. And what scenes! There was one I will always remember. Like our memories, “ Commonwealth“, is a treasure trove of vivid scenes sewn together to make a cohesive whole. Our memories are a collection of disjointed scenes, colored by our emotions at the time. Then, there were the extreme jumps in time period, sometimes as much as fifty years… After I got my head around accepting the challenge, I just decided to roll with it and see where it led. There were so many that I couldn’t seem to keep them straight. Its myriad characters put me off at first. Now I know I’ve got some excellent reading in store. However, with review commitments, I didn’t get to them. Thanks TLC! I own three of Ann Patchett’s books, including the award winning “ Bel Canto“. I’m happy to say that TLC Book Tours gave me an excuse to try out an author I’ve always meant to read, but somehow never got around to reading.
