	Description:		She's a bestselling, prizewinning author with her own bookshop in native Nashville, Tennessee, but in her new collection of essays This Precious Life Ann Patchett reveals that below the surface of any charmed life there are darker undercurrents. "Again and again," she writes, "I was asking what mattered most in this precarious and precious life." Ann Patchett is the author of seven novels, four books of nonfiction and in 2019 published her first children's book. Patchett's numerous awards include the Orange Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award, and 2020 novel The Dutch House was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. In 2012 Patchett was named by Time as one of the '100 Most Influential People in the World'.
