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.

At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves.

Excellent story

This is the story of a “modern family”, as this was the era when families started to become fractured and step-parents and step-siblings became more prevalent. Danny and Maeve are a modern day Hansel and Gretel, complete with abandonment, banishment, and a wicked step-mother. Highly recommend if you enjoy stories of family, faith and forgiveness.
