The house has large glass panels that trick the onlooker to believe that the house is open, transparent, and clear. The house is grand and speaks to a time were opulence and old world money reigned. It is not a literary stretch to think of the dutch house in Patchett’s novel as one of the main protagonists, albeit a silent one. The themes in Patchett’s novel have resonated with me this week as I think about loss, the meaning we keep in certain places and people, and how these things can mean different things to different people.
This is the first book I have ever read by Ann Patchett, despite knowing that there is a bit of a cult-reading following of her work.
