Chatting Books Online Day 179. Today's recommended book is The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. This is another engrossing book by Ann Patchett, as you may recall one of my favorite books is Bel Canto by the same author ( see rec on Chatting Books Day 38 : http://www.conundrumbooks.com/chatting-books-online/day38 ) and this book did not disappoint.
If you are looking for page turning action this is not the book for you, though there is a little of that in here too. But if you are looking for a very well written , strongly character driven book then look no further. I mentioned that the characters are strongly portrayed and I would say that this book actually has 3 main characters: Maeve, her younger brother Danny, and the house they live in as children. It is a story of obsession, of family drama, of right and wrong, and ultimately of coming to terms with the past.
