It is just a few weeks after Christmas, and the unforgiving New England weather has taken a turn for the worse. Doyle has dragged his reluctant sons, Tip and Teddy, to a speech by Jesse Jackson. Though his own political career is over, dealt a fatal blow by a family scandal, Doyle is still fired by Jackson's rhetoric and perplexed by his sons' indifference. The two boys, both adopted, are close enough in age to be taken for twins, but in character they couldn't be more different. Teddy - open, affectionate, the gentle dreamer - thinks he has found his calling in the Catholic Church. The elder by a year, Tip is more serious, reserving his own passionate interest for ichthyology: he is happiest alone in the warmth of his lab, labelling and categorising fish specimens. When they are involved in a violent accident in the treacherously icy road, the Doyles are forced for the first time to confront certain truths: about how the death of Bernadette, Doyle's beloved wife, has affected the family, and about the anonymous figure, never discussed, who is the boys' real mother. Full of warmth and humanity and singing, graceful prose, "Run" is a moving story about our fragile hopes and fears for our children and the lengths we will go to to protect our families. It is a stunning new novel from the prizewinning author of Bel Canto.

Review:
'Ann Patchett is unique: a generous, fearless and startlingly wise young writer.' New York Times Book Review 'Patchett writes with remarkable conviction and attention to telling details.' Jane Smiley Praise for Bel Canto: 'Bel Canto is a tour de force. Gripping and absorbing, I couldn't stop reading.' Penelope Lively 'Electrifying.The novel's sensibilities extend from the sly wit of observational humour to subtle, mournful insights into the nature of yearning and desire.' Alex Clark, Guardian
Book Description:
