Run

About this book

Set over a period of twenty-four hours, Run shows students how worlds of privilege and poverty can coexist only blocks apart from each other, and how family can include people you’ve never even met. Ann Patchett illustrates the humanity that connects disparate lives, weaving several stories into one surprising and endlessly moving narrative. “[E]ngaging, surprising, provocative and moving. . . . A thoroughly intelligent book, an intimate domestic drama that nonetheless deals with big issues touching us all: religion, race, class, politics and, above all else, family.”-Washington Post
