内容介绍

在这部关于家庭、爱情和成长的美丽动人的小说中，安-帕切特再次证明了自己是美国优秀的作家之一。

"帕切特带领我们找到了一个感觉像生活而非文学的真相"。-卫报

2020 年春天，拉拉的三个女儿回到密歇根州北部的果园。在采摘樱桃时，她们央求母亲给她们讲讲彼得-杜克的故事。

彼得-杜克是一位著名演员，多年前，她曾在一家名为汤姆-莱克的剧团与他同台演出，也曾与他有过一段恋情。

在拉拉回忆往事的过程中，女儿们审视了自己的生活以及与母亲的关系，并被迫重新思考这个世界以及她们自以为了解的一切。

汤姆湖》是一部关于青春之爱、婚姻之爱以及父母在孩子出生前的生活的沉思录。它既充满希望，又充满哀伤，

探讨了即使世界分崩离析，幸福的含义。和她所有的小说一样，安-帕切特将引人入胜的叙事艺术与对家庭动态的深刻洞察结合在一起。

作品以深邃的智慧和细腻的情感讲述了一个丰富而光辉的故事，再一次证明了她为什么是当今最受尊敬和赞誉的文学天才之一。

In this beautiful and moving novel about family, love, and growing up, Ann Patchett once again proves herself one of America’s finest writers.

“Patchett leads us to a truth that feels like life rather than literature.” —The Guardian

In the spring of 2020, Lara’s three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. 

While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor 

with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. 

As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, 

and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew.

Tom Lake is a meditation on youthful love, married love, and the lives parents have led before their children were born. 

Both hopeful and elegiac, it explores what it means to be happy even when the world is falling apart. 

As in all of her novels, Ann Patchett combines compelling narrative artistry with piercing insights into family dynamics. 

The result is a rich and luminous story, told with profound intelligence and emotional subtlety, 

that demonstrates once again why she is one of the most revered and acclaimed literary talents working today.
