ann patchett is a novelist who spends her stories without letting the effort show.h the complexities and their rich subtleties subsumed into a rich narrative that never seems to flag. commonwealth is a story of american life told over nearly five decades from the early 60s, when a gate—crasher at a christening sets in train a series of chance events that change two families forever. welcome. why do you think it is that so many readers want to come back so often to family stories? it is the universal after all. it is the one thing that we all have. we were all a baby, we will all die, we all had parents, and it is irresistible, it is what we know. and this begins, as i was saying, at a christening, with a gate—crasher. it is quite a thing to gate—crash a christening. and then chance events unfold over quite a long period which determine the fate really of a couple of families and all sorts of people. you are fascinated by the business of chance, aren't you? iam. i think that chance propels plot. a chance is the nature of story. of course it is something that i am alw
