ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Commonwealth, by Ann Patchett, explores the intertwined lives of the Keating and Cousins families following an unexpected encounter at a christening party. The affair between Beverly Keating and Albert Cousins acts as a catalyst, scattering the Keating children and reshaping their family dynamic.

The novel follows these children as they navigate fractured relationships and create new ones, highlighting the complexities of blended families. The story delves into themes of family, memory, and the impact of a single event on multiple lives, as well as mortality and aging.

The novel examines how stories are created, shaped, and how they impact the lives of those they depict, especially with Franny’s involvement with novelist Leon Posen.
