Descripción: Críticas Praise for Commonwealth: “Patchett brings humanity, humor, and a disarming affection to lovable, struggling characters... Irresistible.” -- Library Journal“Exquisite... Commonwealth is impossible to put down.” -- New York Times“(A) rich and engrossing new novel …” -- New York Times Book Review“Indeed, this is Patchett’s most autobiographical novel, a sharply funny, chilling, entrancing, and profoundly affecting look into one family’s “commonwealth,” its shared affinities, conflicts, loss, and love.” -- Booklist“…a funny, sad, and ultimately heart-wrenching family portrait…Patchett elegantly manages a varied cast of characters…[Patchett is] at her peak in humor, humanity, and understanding people in challenging situations.” -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)“The prose is lean and inviting…A satisfying meat-and-potatoes domestic novel from one of our finest writers.” -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Wonderfully executed…” -- Marie Claire“Commonwealth is a smart, thoughtful novel about the ties that bind us.” -- Pop Sugar“Commonwealth is an all-American family saga, but her touching and even-handed approach to themes such as family politics, love, the role of literature and the acidic nature of lies is buoyed by a generous sprinkling of matter-of-fact humor” -- BookPage“Commonwealth bursts with keen insights into faithfulness, memory and mortality… [An] ambitious American epic…” -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution“Patchett’s storytelling has never seemed more effortlessly graceful. This is minimalism that magically speaks volumes…” -- Washington Post“The genius of the way Patchett approached Commonwealth is that it’s constructed like a puzzle… Maybe it’s another case of the tried-and-true adage: “Write what you know.” Because this book? It’s pure gangbusters.” -- San Francisco Chronicle“moving, beautifully crafted novel…” -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel“Commonwealth is a sly book about storytelling, a story about a single incident - really two pivotal incidents - spun out over the length of a narrative constructed like a conversation but encompassing decades.” -- Kansas City Star“splendid new novel… Just try to stop reading. And you won’t want to. Patchett is in stellar form.” -- USA Today“… the emotional intelligence of Patchett’s storytelling here feels warmer and richer and more resonant than anything she’s done before.” Rating: A -- Entertainment Weekly“close obervation, deadpan humor… Chekhov regularly invoked” -- Wall Street Journal“Patchett gives us funny, flawed characters, and the rich reward of Commonwealth is seeing their lives unfold…” -- Houston Chronicle“a wry, compassionate tale” -- Christian Science Monitor“…to create a story with 10 protagonists that spans 50 years - and at least five settings spread across the globe - is a balancing act that requires immense narrative skill, and Patchett never falters.” -- Knoxville News-Sentinel“Reading Commonwealth is a transporting experience… It feels like Patchett’s most intimate novel and is without doubt one of her best.” -- Los Angeles Times“Wonderful… Patchett is a master storyteller” -- O, the Oprah Magazine“Spinning ordinary lives into literary gold” -- Seattle Times“[A] memorable, modern novel” -- Flavorwire“Ann Patchett’s gifts are more clear than ever in Commonwealth” -- Dallas Morning News“Patchett’s storytelling here feels warmer and richer and more resonant than anything she’s done before.” -- Entertainment Weekly “Exquisite... Commonwealth is impossible to put down.”   — New York Times#1 New York Times Bestseller | NBCC Award Finalist | New York Times Best Book of the Year | USA Today Best Book | TIME Magazine Top 10 Selection | Oprah Favorite Book | New York Magazine Best Book of The Year The acclaimed, bestselling author—winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize—tells the enthralling story of how an unexpected romantic encounter irrevocably changes two families’ lives.One Sunday afternoon in Souther
