An irresistible collection of essays and memoir from the internationally bestselling Womens Prize-winning author of The Dutch House 'Any story that starts will also end.' As a writer Ann Patchett knows what the outcome of her fiction will be. Life however often takes turns we do not see coming. Patchett ponders this truth as she explores family friendship marriage failure success and what it all means. Ranging from the personal her portrait of the three men she called her fathers; unexpectedly falling into a life-changing friendship with Tom Hanks; how to answer when someone asks why you dont have children to the sublime exploring the Harvard Museum of Natural History before its doors open; the unexpected influence of Snoopy; the importance of knitting each essay transforms the particular into the universal letting us all see our own worlds anew. Illuminating penetrating funny and generous These Precious Days is joyful time spent in the company of one of our greatest living authors.
