"Run" by Ann Patchett

I will admit to being an Ann Patchett fanatic. She is one of those marvels of a writer whose narratives are hard and tender and feel like love. In Run, her latest novel, she explores race and family, poverty and privilege, secrets and motherlessness within the context of one mixed-race family in Boston over a period of 24 hours. The plot is unexpected and suspenseful, and you will read deliberately, because each sentence is worth savoring. Discover the latest from the incomparable writer of Bel Canto.
