"Taft is a moving, dangerous book about love and despair and hope. Ann Patchett gives us fantastic yet believable characters that will stay alive long after the last page is turned. She is a wonderful, intelligent writer." —James Welch
A New York Times Notable Book
“A moving emblem of fatherhood’s rarely explored passion.”—Los Angeles Times
“Absorbing .º.º. Strikingly original.”—Kirkus Reviews
John Nickel, an ex–jazz musician, wanted nothing more than to be a good father, but when his son is taken away Nickel is left only with his Beale Street bar. He hires a young waitress named Fay Taft, who brings with her a desperate, dangerous brother, Carl. Nickel finds himself consumed with Fay and Carl’s dead father— Taft—obsessing over and reconstructing the life of a man he never met. But his fascination for Taft and his sympathy for these lost, young strangers soon take him down a twisting, darkening path.
A stunning artistic achievement, Taft confirms Ann Patchett’s standing as one of our most gifted writers and reminds us of our deepest instincts to protect the people we love.
