The Dutch House

“the last book that made me laugh, cry, delight in the specificity of characters, and feel sad when it ended. ponders forgiveness, what it means to live a good/worthy life, irony, and the trap of rumination, grief, trauma.”

“This is perfectly narrated by Tom Hanks. Some friends and I picked this book for a little lockdown zoom book club, and it was wild how the group was split right down the middle—those who read the printed book thought it was too bleak, those who listened to the audiobook thought it was perfect.”

“Brother Danny and sister Maeve cannot seem to escape their shared traumatic past. Takes place over 50 years.”

“Are you an eldest daughter? Ann gets it.”
