Ann Patchett, bestselling author, book lover and bookstore owner (!), talks about how the play ‘Our Town,’ shaped ‘Tom Lake,’ The Girlfriend Book Club’s November 2023 read, and ‘really informed my whole life.’ Patchett, who also wrote ‘The Dutch House,’ discusses love in all life stages and why she’s happiest now. Hear about her writing process (on a treadmill desk), the moving reason why her 60th birthday is so special and how she got Meryl Streep to record the ‘Tom Lake’ audiobook.
