Overview
Commentary
Anne Patchett follows up her bestselling BEL CANTO with a sprawling tale of a large, diverse Boston family. Bernard Doyle, a former mayor, and his wife Bernadette have one child of their own and also adopt two black children, Teddy and Tip. Bernadette dies when the children are young, and later another child enters the family: Kenya, the daughter of a woman who sacrificed herself to save Tip. With four children of different races and classes under one roof, the novel becomes a wonderful and subtly miraculous tale of family, identity, and compassion. As always, Patchett excels at capturing those rare moments of grace when people from very different worlds suddenly find the ability to see each other face to face.

Publisher's Notes
Struggling with single parenthood and a scandal that cost him his political career, Bernard Doyle fights his disappointment with his adopted sons' career choices before a violent event forces the members of his family to reconsider their priorities. By the author of Bel Canto. Reprint. 250,000 first printing.

Reviews
"RUN is a novel with timeless concerns at its heart--class and belonging, parenthood and love--and if it wears its heart on its sleeve, it does so with confidence. And so it should: the book is lovely to read and is satisfyingly bold in its attempt to say something patient and true about family."

Andrew O'Hagan

"[RUN] shimmers with its author's rarefied eloquence, and with the deep resonance of her insights."

Janet Maslin

"Both very sweet and very smart."
