I have started These Precious Days by Ann Patchett. I am not such a great fan of short stories and essays, but, as this author is a firm favourite, I decided to make an exception. Here’s the blurb:
Ranging from the personal – her portrait of the three men she called her fathers; how a chance encounter with Tom Hanks led to one of the most important friendships of her life; how to answer when someone asks why you don't have children – to the sublime – the unexpected influence of Snoopy; the importance of knitting; the pleasure to be found in children's books – each essay transforms the particular into the universal, letting us all see our own worlds anew.
