Commonwealth

I read this a few years ago, before I had this Goodreads account, but I wanted to add it to my have-read list. I was thinking about it because I was listening to an interview with Ann Patchett regarding her most recent book, Tom Lake. I wanted to jog my memory of this novel, and what I remember most was the unsupervised childhoods in the 1970s and 80s, and the parents who make bad(?) decisions for themselves and worse (?) for their children. In the interview I heard, Patchett talks about how autobiographical Commonwealth was ... and how fun it was to write.
