About this book

Ann Patchett's book "Run" shows how humanity can bind seemingly unrelated lives together. It is based in Boston and centers on the Doyle family, which is headed by former mayor Bernard Doyle. Tip and Teddy Doyle have been nurtured by their aspirational father since the passing of their mother.

When a snowy disagreement results in an accident involving a stranger and her child, issues of duty, accountability, and secrets are raised. Patchett explores themes of race, privilege, family, and the lengths we will go to to protect our children by fusing multiple storylines into one fascinating narrative.
