Book review: Commonwealth by Anne Patchett

What a saga this is! It shows a series of interesting and interrelated family situations over many years. I really wanted it to go on for longer and was disappointed when it ended.

All of the characters are flawed, whilst there behaviour is completely believable. It shows the complex nature of relationships these days. The jumping nature of the book between timelines helps bring out the messy nature of the stories within it.

Another great book by Anne Patchett. I am always surprised at the variation of subjects in her books. They always have human relationships at the core though.
