Dawn

My neighborhood book group meets tonight, so I won't be able to call in, but I do have a question ...

I've now read 3 of Patchett's novels, with very varied settings - from "somewhere in South America" in *Bel Canto* to Los Angeles and Nebraska in *The Magician's Assistant* and now Boston and Cambridge in *Run*. Very diverse and very deeply explored.

Are these areas significant to Patchett personally (has she lived in any of these places?), or are they more simply where the story needed to take place?

Ruth

I was really intrigued by Tip's interest in ichthyology. Is this an area of personal interest for Ann? What sort of research did she do for this aspect of Tip's character? Has she visited the Museum of Comparative Zoology?

Dawn and Ruth -- those are great questions, I'll make sure to ask them. And I'm looking forward to hearing from Julie and Darlene -- and Ruth too if you can make it!

Dawn, hope your book group has fun tonight.

    Who is Book Club Girl?

    • Book Club Girl is: a member of a book club and an avid reader who spent most of her childhood immersed in a book, an English major who considered library school until she realized it was all about computers, so turned to publishing, where she now works (but she vows to talk about books from all over and not to simply flog those from her own house). She was single, lived in the city, met a man, moved to the 'burbs, and is now a wife, a stepmother, a mother, and in her spare time, a fledgling blogger dedicated to sharing great books, news and tips with book club girls everywhere.

    My Review Policy

    • I review fiction and nonfiction that is appropriate for book clubs. This includes literary and some women's commercial fiction as well as memoir and narrative nonfiction. I do not review self-help, thrillers, mysteries, horror, or fantasy. I have a fondness for YA literature and while the blog is not devoted to it (well, except for my obsession with the Betsy-Tacy series), I will occasionally review some YA books. The best way to reach me to request a review is to email me at bookclubgirl AT gmail DOT com.
