I read this for bookclub this upcoming Friday. A brother and sister grow up in this mansion called The Dutch House and are thrown out of it when their dad dies and their stepmother takes over. I will admit for a minute I thought it was boring. But it got great. Patchett really knows how to write the minutiae between family members that endears them to you. Also, sometimes we think it‘s the place that matters but really it‘s the people. Pick!
