The Dutch House: A Novel by Ann Patchett: Conversation Starters

Bestselling author Ann Patchett offers another compelling read in The Dutch House, which takes readers into a man’s fascinating journey from abandonment to maturity and eventual forgiveness. Danny Conroy looks back on his childhood with memories marred by the bitterness of his past. The only saving grace in the darkness of his recollections is the constant and comforting presence of his older sister, Maeve, who takes on the role of mother to Danny after their own mother walked out on them. The siblings’ grandiose childhood home is a 1922 mansion in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia previously owned by a wealthy Dutch family. The Dutch house is both the witness and the object of Danny Conroy’s childhood miseries. Described by The Washington Post as a “subtle mystery, psychological page-turner, ” Ann Patchett’s latest offering promises to be as enthralling as her other best selling works.
