Krátky popis
The acclaimed, bestselling author winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award
and the Orange Prize tells the enthralling story of how an
unexpected romantic encounter irrevocably changes two families
lives. One Sunday afternoon in Southern California, Bert Cousins
shows up at Franny Keating s christening party uninvited. Before
evening falls, he has kissed Franny s mother, Beverly thus setting
in motion the dissolution of their marriages and the joining of two
families. Spanning five decades, Commonwealth explores how this
chance encounter reverberates through the lives of the four parents
and six children involved. Spending summers together in Virginia,
the Keating and Cousins children forge a lasting bond that is based
on a shared disillusionment with their parents and the strange and
genuine affection that grows up between them. When, in her
twenties, Franny begins an affair with the legendary author Leon
Posen and tells him about her family, the story of her siblings is
no longer hers to control. Their childhood becomes the basis for
his wildly successful book, ultimately forcing them to come to
terms with their losses, their guilt, and the deeply loyal
connection they feel for one another. Told with equal measures of
humor and heartbreak, Commonwealth is a meditation on inspiration,
interpretation, and the ownership of stories. It is a brilliant and
tender tale of the far-reaching ties of love and responsibility
that bind us together.
