#1 New York Times Bestseller
The acclaimed, bestselling author—winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Orange Prize—tells the enthralling story of how an unexpected romantic encounter irrevocably changes two families’ lives.
One Sunday afternoon in Southern California, Bert Cousins shows up at Franny Keating’s christening party uninvited. Before evening falls, he has kissed Franny’s mother, Beverly—thus setting in motion the dissolution of their marriages and the joining of two families.
Spanning five decades, Commonwealth explores how this chance encounter reverberates through the lives of the four parents and six children involved. Spending summers together in Virginia, the Keating and Cousins children forge a lasting bond that is based on a shared disillusionment with their parents and the strange and genuine affection that grows up between them.
When, in her twenties, Franny begins an affair with the legendary author Leon Posen and tells him about her family, the story of her siblings is no longer hers to control. Their childhood becomes the basis for his wildly successful book, ultimately forcing them to come to terms with their losses, their guilt, and the deeply loyal connection they feel for one another.
Told with equal measures of humor and heartbreak, Commonwealth is a meditation on inspiration, interpretation, and the ownership of stories. It is a brilliant and tender tale of the far-reaching ties of love and responsibility that bind us together.

    Пока мне нравится всё, что я прочитала у этого автора. Эта книга читается на одном дыхании, иногда путаешься, кто чей деть, но тут просто нужно запомнить. Прекрасные, глубокие персонажи, очень жизненные истории каждого члена этой большой семьи, иногда хочется плакать, иногда смеяться, всё, как в жизни. У меня на ум пришло сравнение с Франзеном, но тут сюжет поживее, а дум, которые приходят на ум, поменьше.

    “You have kids?” he asked.

    Cousins nodded. “Three and a third.”

    Fix whistled. “You stay busy.”

    Cousins wondered if he meant You stay busy running after kids, or, You stay busy fucking your wife. Either way.
