The Dutch House by Ann Patchett
4.0

I read this last year and really enjoyed it. Not sure why this wasn’t in any of my shelves. I loved the prose and the characters, and against the opinions of most, it seems, the ending. It was a bit neat but also felt incredibly fitting and poetic. After I finished it I bought it because I knew I’d want to read it again sometime in the future. The only thing slightly lacking was pertaining to the plot beats, which felt like a strange arrangement to play, but somehow was pulled off anyway.
