ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“Commonwealth” by Ann Patchett is a compelling exploration of family dynamics, following the lives of two families forever changed by an affair. The story begins with a christening party, where Beverly and Bert’s unexpected connection sparks a chain of events that leads to their divorce and the blending of their families. As the children navigate their new family structure, they deal with rivalry, loss, and complicated relationships. Themes of loyalty, love, resentment, and the consequences of choices permeate the narrative, as the characters grapple with their identities and the lasting impact of their fractured family history.
