The Dutch House by Ann Patchett
3.75

Family saga with all the drama but light on emotion. The narration reminded me of Victorian literature - the matter-of-fact voice, the lack of sentiment, the unfolding of the family’s history. It worked for me; I really did enjoy this. I think it wrapped up too neatly and there could have been more drama (or more reaction to the existing drama). And Tom Hanks was a great audiobook narrator.
