Finished another!

     In the quest to read all of Ann Patchett's books one more is done. The book was published 30 years ago. Per usual in Patchett's books family secrets are central to The Patron Saint Of Liars. Set primarily in an Kentucky home for unwed mothers the family secrets never gets fully revealed. As is true of family secrets those secrets have consequences for all involved.

     As typical for Patchett's book this was very engaging. It left more to be resolved at the end than some of her other books. Better that things be unresolved than tied up unrealistically.  The ending of Bel Canto struck me as less than helpful, for example.  Now I need a copy of Taft.
