Ann Patchett
Set over five decades, the novel follows siblings Danny and Maeve as they are exiled from their childhood home—a grand estate outside Philadelphia—and must rebuild their lives. The house itself, with its ornate rooms and hidden histories, becomes a silent witness to shifting fortunes, resentment, and enduring affection. Narrated by Danny, the story explores how memory, property, and family mythology shape identity. Patchett weaves a quiet meditation on forgiveness and the inescapable pull of the past.
