2021 PB in nice clean condition. Ann Patchett, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth, delivers her most powerful novel to date: a richly moving story that explores the indelible bond between two siblings, the house of their childhood, and a past that will not let them go. The Dutch House is the story of a paradise lost, a tour de force that digs deeply into questions of inheritance, love and forgiveness, of how we want to see ourselves and of who we really are.
From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Fantastic story. Fell in love with Maeve and Danny straight away. This bond between siblings is amazing. The ending was quite satisfying."; "This is the story of a family and the house that defined them all and their relationships with each other. This is gripping historical fiction that largely follows Danny and his sister Maeve and their lives. Family drama is not my typical genre but I did enjoy this one. It is a lesson in family dynamics, trauma, and grace. "; "Not sure why it took me so long to read a book by Ann Patchett but I loved it and will absolutely be reading more from this author."; "Wow, this story blew me away. The characters were authentic, relatable and satisfied this sense of nostalgia I've been craving for the entirety of my adulthood. This book gave me life - and showed me how quickly it goes by. I would recommend this to anyone who's ever longed for home."; "Strong characters, interesting times. The power of family ties past and present can't be denied. It will stay with me for a while."
