Truth and Beauty by Ann Patchett

Despite the small turnout we had a great discussion of Truth and Beauty. We analyzed the personalities of Ann and Lucy, discussed the controversy this book caused at Clemson University and Lucy's sister's reaction to the book. Some of us felt that it was a period piece and to understand the women's relationship and activities it helped to be familiar with the 60's.

Recently I met with a local author who told me that was one of her all time favorite books. Is it a writer's book?

I had read one of her other books, Bel Canto, and absolutely loved it. Should I read more of her books to get a better flavor of her writing?
