A memoir in the form of an essay collection, this volume spans Patchett's life from her young, hungry days working for Seventeen and other magazines to her new role as proprietor of an independent bookstore. In between, the award-winning author of Bel Canto, Run, and State of Wonder recounts valuable lessons learned from caring for her grandmother and getting to know an intimidating nun, pays tribute to Eudora Welty and the short story, and describes her two very different marriages.

I just re-read "Truth and Beauty". what a wonderful writer she is.
Sensational writer
my favorite author!!
What a great talk. Thanks.
I’m ashamed to say up until recently I’d never heard of Anne Patchett. I bought her new book The Dutch House a few days ago and can’t wait to read it.
Listen...you and me both, and now I feel like binge reading everything she has a finger on.
@@UKLeonie I'm from Brazil and I think no one has ever heard about her, including myself... until a minute before. I will try to find some of her books. Any suggestions?!
I cannot recommend her too much. Truth and Beauty and This is the story of a happy marriage. incredible.
@@nurulmaru truth and beauty. And, This is the story of a happy marriage.
@@nurulmaruBel Canto is beautiful. My favorite of her books.
Ann Patchett is brilliant - and enthralling - and a pretty good bookseller. And she has her own nun. (Benedictine, Dominican, or Franciscan (Poor Clares)?)
Mercy
Anyone else think she resembles a younger Carrie Fisher?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i think she has her top on inside out
It kinda looks like that because of the seams, but she’s a serious knitter so I think she’d know if it were.
