Tom Lake by Ann Patchett is a beautifully crafted novel about family, memory, love, and the stories we tell about our past. Set during the spring of 2020, the novel follows Lara and her three daughters as they spend time together on their family’s Michigan cherry farm while reflecting on Lara’s relationship with a famous actor from her younger years.

As Lara recounts her past, her daughters begin to see their mother—and their own family—through a different lens. Patchett explores the ways memories change over time, the complexities of parent-child relationships, the enduring nature of love, and the difference between who we were and who we become.

Winner of the 2023 Women’s Prize for Fiction, Tom Lake is an ideal choice for readers in Bangladesh who enjoy contemporary literary fiction, family dramas, romance, and character-driven stories. Ann Patchett's warm, thoughtful prose makes this a deeply engaging and reflective read.
