Linda C (libladynylindac) | 1823 comments After the death of famous actor Peter Duke Lara is asked by her three daughters to relate the story of her connection to him. They are all at home with their parents for the pandemic shutdown when this happens. Over the course of the book, she relates how she got into acting and the period when she knew him at Tom Lake, a summer stock theater in MI and the limited connection thereafter. The background on each of the daughters is generally covered but not in great depth. Lara tells the reader some additional events that she doesn’t tell the daughters.

Good story and the relationship between the mother and daughters led to some good discussions at my book group meeting


John Warner (jwarner6comcastnet) | 120 comments If you have access to audiobooks, you should really listen to this book narrated by Meryl Streep. It truly comes to life through her narration.


Robin P | 6037 comments This book works for Debut as a letter in the word, but I don't think you meant to put your review here, It's not Ann Patchett's debut book, of course.

Yes, Meryl Streep's narration kicked this book up another star for me.


Linda C (libladynylindac) | 1823 comments thanks Robyn, you're right , of course.
