About this product

Product Information

"Engaging, surprising, provocative and moving...a thoroughly intelligent book, an intimate domestic drama that nonetheless deals with big issues touching us all: religion, race, class, politics and, above all else, family." -- Washington Post From New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett comes an engrossing story of one family on one fateful night in Boston where secrets are unlocked and new bonds are formed. Since their mother's death, Tip and Teddy Doyle have been raised by their loving possessive and ambitions father. As the former mayor of Boston, Bernard Doyle wants to see is sons in politics, a dream the boys have never shared. But when an argument in a blinding New England snowstorm inadvertently causes an accident that involves a stranger and her child, all Bernard Doyle cares about is his ability to keep his children--all his children--safe. Set over a period of twenty-four hours, Run takes us from the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard to a home for retired Catholic Priests in downtown Boston. It shows us how worlds of privilege and poverty can coexist only blocks apart from each other, and how family can include people you've never even met. As an in her bestselling novel, Bel Canto , Ann Patchett illustrates the humanity that connects disparate lives, weaving several stories into one surprising and endlessly moving narrative. Suspenseful and stunningly executed, Run is ultimately a novel about secrets, duty, responsibility, and the lengths we will go to protect our children.

Reviews
"Run is deeply moving and absorbing... What Patchett does so well here - as in Bel Canto - is put together a group of disparate people into an unexpected situation and investigate the consequences... Patchett has once again written an intelligent, thoughtful novel that oozes emotional intensity. She is the kind of storyteller who makes the reader sad to come to the last page." -- Financial Times "Run is strongly recommended." -- New York Magazine "Ann Patchett can be counted on to deliver novels rich in imaginative bravado and psychological nuance." -- Publishers Weekly "Ms. Patchett comes home." -- Wall Street Journal "...a brilliant exploration of the true nature of parenthood." -- Good Housekeeping "...full of affection and respect, for her characters and for the world, which is why reading her feels so elegant and so satisfying." -- O magazine "Ann Patchett serves up an emotionally generous fictional slice of urban Americana." -- Elle "Compelling." -- Kirkus Reviews "This author specializes in delving beneath the surface...RUN shimmers with its author's rarefied eloquence, and with the deep resonance of her insights." -- New York Times "Ann Patchett...has written a spectacular autumn book; moody and thoughtful, gentle in its handling of weighty topics, and quietly suspensful. [T]he ending is an emotionally poignant culmination." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "...engaging, surprising, provocative and moving...a thoroughly intelligent book, an intimate domestic drama that nonetheless deals with big issues touching us all: religion, race, class, politics and, above all else, family." -- Washington Post, Ann Patchett can be counted on to deliver novels rich in imaginative bravado and psychological nuance., "Ann Patchett can be counted on to deliver novels rich in imaginative bravado and psychological nuance."

  • Run - a bit dull

    The title of this book leaves one with many questions: run for office, run from a family or toward a family, run to escape or run to find one's self. Ann Patchett easily entices you into her book about the Doyle family. Holding ones attention was a bit more difficult. The "out of body" session in the middle of the book, where Tennessee talks to Tennessee did not seem to fit. There could have been a better way to relate relevant information. Kenya, the eleven year old is wise beyond her years, which makes her somewhat of an unbelievable character. The family's easy acceptance of her into their already dysfunctional affiliation is hard to understand. This is a story about family and what makes a family. It is purely a biological relationship? Can racial barriers be ignored and deep ...

  • "Run" is an awesome read! Run to get it!

    What a pleasant surprise! "Run" is even better than I expected it to be! Awesome character development. Intriguing plat! Can hardly stop turning the pages even though my eyes are closing from fatigue! Ann Patchett is one of my favorite authors. Love every one of her books!

  • Run, a Novel by Ann Patchett

    I bought this book because it was assigned for reading for a book club that I recently joined. I'm not really much of a reader, but this book held my interest and I looked forward to reading a new chapter each day. It is an entertaining story that is full of twists, turns and surprises.

  • Run by Ann Patchett

    I bought it because it was recommended by a friend and b/c I have enjoyed other books by this author. Although the book was good, I liked it the least of her books.
