Run Patchett, Ann

**Run by Ann Patchett - Preloved Literary Fiction from Patina Paperbacks**

Set against a Boston snowstorm, this gripping contemporary novel follows the Doyle family through one pivotal night that changes everything. When former mayor Bernard Doyle's adopted African-American sons collide with their biological mother, long-buried secrets explode into the open. Patchett weaves themes of family, race, politics, and destiny with her trademark wit and emotional intelligence.

Perfect for readers who love character-driven stories with social depth - think fans of Zadie Smith or Elizabeth Strout. Patchett, the beloved author behind *Bel Canto* and owner of Nashville's Parnassus Books, delivers another knockout exploring what makes a family and whether we can escape our past.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks has plenty of life left in its pages. Great for book clubs tackling meaty contemporary fiction or anyone craving smart storytelling without the stuffiness.
