Ann Patchett

<p>After losing her best friend, <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/author/ann-patchett/139805" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Ann Patchett</a> poured all that love into her new novel, Whistler. Bringing platonic love to the fore, alongside the unearthing of the past and a reckoning with our own mortality; we sat down to speak with her about what it means to love and to lose, what she's learned as a bookseller about reading and why the most important thing for any writer is getting your posture right.</p>
