![]() ![]() I did not listen but others have reported that TOM HANKS is excellent in his narration of this book! What’s up next? I hope you will also join us as we read our April challenge book, The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes. Will they be able to forgive and become a family again? If by chance you have not read this book yet…consider the audio version. ![]() How does their relationship stand the test of time? What does ‘family’ even look like through the grand windows of The Dutch House? Eventually, they begin careers, Danny marries and their mother amazingly returns. Forced to grow up before their time, they move on but are continually pulled back toward The Dutch House and their past. When their mother leaves unexpectedly and their father remarries (an evil stepmother!) Danny and Maeve essentially find themselves out of on their own. Instead it begins the unraveling of their family. It could have been a museum or a historical home. ![]() It may have been someplace you lived or someplace you drove past once. ![]() Everyone has a house or houses they think are spectacular. The mansion is everything that their father thought would bring his wife joy. It exists in my imagination and in the reader’s imagination. This saga starts when Danny and Maeve’s father purchases a grand house with ceiling to floor windows- an estate called ‘The Dutch House’. Set over the course of five decades, The Dutch House is a dark fairy tale about two smart people who cannot overcome their past. ![]()
