"Can a book actually be perfect?" ~Spineless Books
I hope you're just as excited as I am to dive into this month's selection, Whistler by Ann Patchett. A huge thank you to Celia for such a wonderful pick!
A Story of Love and Impermanence:
Ann Patchett’s novels examine the bonds and secrets of families — those connected by blood, forged through marriage, and built between strangers as they weather difficult circumstances. Her latest, Whistler, is no different. It is told with Patchett’s trademark subtlety and tenderness.
Published June 2, 2026, Whistler focuses on the deep bonds formed with people who enter our lives briefly — like a step-parent, a mentor, or a family friend, yet shape who we become forever. It captures the profound comfort of being truly seen by someone, even if only for a short season of life.
Whistler is a gorgeous novel about a special love and the power of stories to provide hope, help us cope, and keep us connected to what we’ve lost.
"Grief is the price we pay for love. " ~Ann Patchett
I look forward to seeing you there!
