Arcadia Book Club discusses "Tom Lake" by Ann Patchett 

I love this book club! Listen to you all every month. Cannot wait until your discussion of Middlemarch. It is delicious and so misunderstood.

Tuned in to the end for October's book - I love Persepolis for October and so appreciate the compulsion to read Middlemarch for January (far too hefty to have picked it up of my own accord.)Thank you to Nancy, James and this lovely group.

So, Ann is not actually a mom, but she is a stepmom, but came to that later in life. I agree, though -- she nailed it.
