À propos de cet audio

It's a winter evening in Boston and the temperature has drastically dropped as a blizzard approaches the city. On this fateful night, Bernard Doyle plans to meet his two adopted sons, Tip the older, and more serious and Teddy, the affectionate dreamer, at a Harvard auditorium to hear a speech given by Jesse Jackson. Doyle, an Irish Catholic and former Boston mayor, has done his best to keep his two sons interested in politics, from the day he and his now deceased wife became their parents, through their childhoods, and now in their lives as college students. Though the two boys are African-American, the bonds of the family's love have never been tested. But as the snow begins to fall, an accident triggers into motion a series of events that will forever change their lives.

Run is at its very center, is a novel about what truly defines family and the lengths we will go to protect our children. As she did in her best-selling novel Bel Canto, Patchett beautifully weaves together seemingly disparate lives to show how intimately humans can connect. Stunning and powerful, Run is sure to engage any Patchett fan and bring her even more admirers.

Ce que les critiques en disent

" Run is a book that sets out inventively to contend with the temper of our times, and by the end we feel we really know the Doyle family in all its intensity and with all its surprises." ( Publishers Weekly)

Characters are so well described you feel you know them! Patchett has an amazing ability to weave a complex tale from simple triggering incidents. Love her books and the only reason i'm giving this a 4 and not a 5 is that I enjoyed a couple of her books slightly more than this one!

Another great Ann Patchett story!

I enjoyed this book. Interesting characters and a great idea for the plot. I wish the author had better resolved certain character’s inner struggles, as in some ways, I felt she skipped to the end, leaving me wanting something deeper for characters like Sullivan. Narration was was great, but musical interludes between sections / chapters seemed out of place and poorly timed.

Intriguing Storyline

Great story. Some unexpected turns and good character development kept the interest up. I appreciate Pachette’s exploration of relationship.

The performance was distracting and did not compliment the story line. The music segues were simply annoying and didn’t contribute anything to the experience.
