The acclaimed best-selling author - success of the Pencil/Faulkner Award and the Orange Award - explains to the enthralling storyline of how an unexpected romantic face irrevocably changes two families' lives. One Sunday day in Southern California, Bert Cousins turns up at Franny Keating's christening party uninvited. Before nighttime comes, he has kissed Franny's mother, Beverly - thus preparing in motion the dissolution of these marriages and the joining of two families. Spanning five generations, Commonwealth explores how this chance face reverberates through the lives of the four parents and six children engaged. Spending summers alongside one another in Virginia, the Keating and Cousins children forge a long lasting bond that is dependant on a shared disillusionment using their parents and the odd and genuine passion that grows up between them. When, in her 20s, Franny starts an affair with the renowned author Leon Posen and explains to him about her family, the storyplot of her siblings is no more hers to control. Their childhood becomes the foundation for his wildly successful booklet, ultimately forcing them to come to terms using their deficits, their guilt, and the deeply faithful interconnection they feel for just one another. Told with identical measures of laughter and heartbreak, Commonwealth is a yoga on ideas, interpretation, and the ownership of stories. It really is an excellent and tender story of the far-reaching ties of love and responsibility that bind us alongside one another.
