Reviews
"The Dutch House has the richness, allusiveness, and emotional heft of the best fiction." -- Boston Globe "As always, the author draws us close to her protagonists swiftly and gracefully." -- Wall Street Journal "Patchett's prose is confident, unfussy and unadorned." -- New York Times "A big-hearted, capacious novel..." -- Chapter 16 "The Dutch House is unusual, thoughtful and oddly exciting, as well-told domestic dramas can be." -- Columbus Dispatch "Patchett's storytelling abilities shine in this gratifying novel." -- Associated Press "As always, Patchett leads us to a truth that feels like life rather than literature." -- The Guardian "For Patchett fans who have been waiting for years, it's a worthwhile read." -- Evening Standard (London) "Ann Patchett spins a dark, compelling fairy tale in The Dutch House." -- Entertainment Weekly "The Dutch House confirms what we've always known: Ann Patchett doesn't write a bad book." -- BookPage "This finely textured novel is made up of many such small, intimate moments, yet the effect is sweeping, grand, and lavish--and all deeply moving." -- New York Journal of Books "This is a serious and poignant story, but also a delightfully funny one." -- Washington Independent Review of Books "This richly furnished novel gives brilliantly clear views into the lives it contains." -- Kirkus Reviews(starred review) "You won't want to put down this engrossing, warmhearted book even after you've read the last page." -- NPR "Expect miracles when you read Ann Patchett's fiction." -- New York Times Book Review "Patchett is a master storyteller." -- O, the Oprah Magazine "Patchett's splendid novel is a thoughtful, compassionate exploration of obsession and forgiveness, what people acquire, keep, lose or give away, and what they leave behind." -- Publishers Weekly(starred review) "A lavishly gifted writer." -- Los Angeles Times "Patchett writes enviable prose--fluid, simple, direct, clear, and fearless." -- Esquire "Enchanting." -- PEOPLE Magazine, Best Books of Fall 2019 "Patchett is at her subtle yet shining finest in this gloriously incisive, often droll, quietly suspenseful drama of family, ambition, and home. . . . With echoes of F. Scott Fitzgerald and in sync with Alice McDermott, Patchett gracefully choreographs surprising revelations and reunions as her characters struggle with the need to be one's true self." -- Booklist "The Dutch House is beautifully written and often tender." -- The Spectator "A great novelist is on top form with this tale of lost family home." -- The Times (London) "Subtle mystery, psychological page-turner, Patchett's latest is a thriller." -- Washington Post, "Patchett's splendid novel is a thoughtful, compassionate exploration of obsession and forgiveness, what people acquire, keep, lose or give away, and what they leave behind."--

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. The story is told by Cyril's son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother. The two wealthy siblings are thrown back into the poverty their parents had escaped from and find that all they have to count on is one another. It is this unshakeable bond between them that both saves their lives and thwarts their futures. Set over the course of five decades, The Dutch House is a dark fairy tale about two smart people who cannot overcome their past. Despite every outward sign of success, Danny and Maeve are only truly comfortable when they're together.
