I like the way she changes times and points of view seamlessly ( ) Love Ann Patchett, but found this one too convoluted and confusing. Too many characters to keep straight. I finally just sort of let it wash over me, as it was clearly about a blended and complicated family, so I stopped trying to figure it out and tried to "watch" it, kind of like a blurry and complex film. There are so many brilliant things about it, though: the book within the book, the film of the family that sprang from the book, all the while the family is reading/watching with horror, that kind of clever inward-turning/outward-facing meta-commentary going on throughout.

Patchett sucker-punches you, but leaves you feeling you had it coming – whether for underestimating her, or her characters, or humanity, is hard to say. In particular, Commonwealth is one of the most discerning novels about siblings I can recall. One pair of stepsiblings share an equivocal bond: “In that sense the two of them had been a team, albeit a team neither one of them wanted to be on.” Appartient à la série éditorialeHarper Perennial Olive Editions (2020 Olive) Prix et récompensesDistinctionsListes notables
