Description
A powerful novel about the indelible bond between two siblings and the house of their childhood, The Dutch House is a richly moving story that explores questions of inheritance, love and forgiveness. Ann Patchett's latest work is a dark fairy tale about two smart people who cannot overcome their past. At the heart of the story is the lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia, bought by Cyril Conroy as a surprise for his wife, which sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The house becomes a symbol of the family's fortunes, but also of their downfall. The story is told by Cyril's son Danny, and his older sister Maeve, as they are exiled from the house and forced to confront their past. Set over the course of five decades, The Dutch House is a story of two people who cannot escape their past, and the unshakeable bond that both saves and thwarts their lives.
