Some stories are best savored on a gray, salty afternoon, with the wind off the cove and a cup of tea close at hand. This is one of them.
From Ann Patchett, the beloved author of Commonwealth, comes a richly moving tale about the unshakeable bond between two siblings, the grand house of their childhood, and a past that refuses to loosen its grip.
After the Second World War, Cyril Conroy strikes it rich and buys the Dutch House, a lavish estate outside Philadelphia. Meant as a gift for his wife, it quietly sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves.
Narrated by Cyril’s son Danny, the story follows him and his sharp, fiercely protective sister Maeve as they are cast out of their childhood home by their stepmother. Thrown back into the poverty their parents had escaped, they find they have only each other.
Spanning five decades, this is a dark fairy tale about two clever people who cannot quite outrun where they came from. It’s a meditation on inheritance, love, and forgiveness, on who we are versus who we wish to be.
A perfect choice for book clubs and lovers of literary fiction. Come browse, and let this one find a place on your shelf.
