Longlisted for the Women's Prize 2020
*The Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller and a 'Book of the Year' 2019*
Selected as Book of the Year in The Times, Guardian, Daily Telegraph, Washington Post, Herald and Good Housekeeping
A heart-wrenching new novel of the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister, their childhood home, and a past that will not let them go - from the Number One New York Times bestselling author of Bel Canto and Commonwealth
"'Do you think it's possible to ever see the past as it actually was?' I asked my sister. We were sitting in her car, parked in front of the Dutch House in the broad daylight of early summer."
Danny Conroy grows up in the Dutch House, a lavish mansion. Though his father is distant and his mother is absent, Danny has his beloved sister Maeve: Maeve, with her wall of black hair, her wit, her brilliance. The siblings grow and change as life plays out under the watchful eyes of the house's former owners, in the frames of their oil paintings.
Then one day their father brings Andrea home. Though they cannot know it, her arrival to the Dutch House sows the seed of the defining loss of Danny and Maeve's lives.
Told with Ann Patchett's inimitable blend of humour, rage and heartbreak, The Dutch House is a book for our times; of family, love, loss, and the powerful bonds of place and time that magnetize and repel us for our whole lives.

心的流浪,何处是归处
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
父亲去世后,继母将梅芙和丹尼赶出家门,从此,姐弟俩开始了长达近半个世纪的“流浪”,但要说心的流浪,也许还要追溯到更早的时候。 在福克纳文学奖得主安·帕切特的新作《流浪的家》中,就描述了这样一个寻找内心归处的故事。 梅芙和丹尼的家,在一幢豪华壮美的荷兰屋,那是... (展开)

读完这本书,没有什么是不能原谅的
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
单从小说的情节来说,以我现在的年龄段来看,其实我挺气愤的。纵使小说的结尾给了大家一个看似圆满的结局,但伤害就是伤害,为什么就不能记恨着?为什么要去原谅? 但是放下书本后看看自己的身边,想想周围的人和事,原谅与不原谅,事情都已经发生了,原谅了,会少一些遗憾;可... (展开)
命运的分岔路口究竟在何处
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
家,对我们来说意味着什么呢?是温暖的避风港湾,还是可以信赖的依靠,还是会给我们最致命一击的伤痛?我们并不能给出一个明确的回答,但是我们都曾经多少会受到原生家庭的影响,然后那份影响都足以改变我们的一生。 在我们生命之初,家的定义更可能是一栋房子,不管它是否华美... (展开)

The Dutch House Lived
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
作者的文笔和用词完全有一股淡淡的忧伤,即使是调快倍速,那种对曾经的家园的留恋,对童年时的回忆的追随,对长姐的思念,还有对周围人在一起的时光的不舍在Hanks那有着岁月痕迹的声音下,缓缓道来。小说从主人公小时候开始到自己年迈,记忆和时间线相交差,非常顺畅。姐弟两的... (展开)
