Notes

Description
One Sunday afternoon in Southern California, Bert Cousins shows up at Franny Keating's christening party uninvited. Before evening falls, he has kissed Franny's mother, Beverly--thus setting in motion the dissolution of their marriages and the joining of two families. Spanning five decades, Commonwealth explores how this chance encounter reverberates through the lives of the four parents and six children involved. Spending summers together in Virginia, the Keating and Cousins children forge a lasting bond that is based on a shared disillusionment with their parents and the strange and genuine affection that grows up between them. When, in her twenties, Franny begins an affair with the legendary author Leon Posen and tells him about her family, the story of her siblings is no longer hers to control. Their childhood becomes the basis for his wildly successful book, ultimately forcing them to come to terms with their losses, their guilt, and the deeply loyal connection they feel for one another.
Description
Un domingo por la tarde, en el sur de California, Bert Cousins aparece sin invitación previa en la fiesta del bautizo de Franny Keating. Antes de terminar el día, ha besado ya a la madre de Franny, Beverly, y ha puesto en marcha la disolución de dos matrimonios y la unión de dos familias. Comunidad explora los ecos que este encuentro fortuito despierta a lo largo de cinco décadas en la vida de los cuatro progenitores y los seis hijos involucrados. Los niños Keating y Cousins pasan los veranos juntos en Virginia, donde forjan un vínculo duradero basado en la desilusión respecto a sus padres y el afecto extraño y sincero que crece entre ellos. Cuando Franny, a los veinte años de edad, comienza una relación con el legendario autor Leon Posen y le habla de su familia, la historia de sus hermanos deja de pertenecerle. La infancia de Franny se convierte en la base de un libro de gran éxito de Posen, lo que termina por llevarlos a aceptar sus pérdidas, sus sentimientos de culpa y el vínculo profundamente leal que sienten entre sí.
