Rezension

"As always, the author draws us close to her protagonists swiftly and gracefully." - Wall Street Journal

"Patchett's prose is confident, unfussy and unadorned." - New York Times

"A big-hearted, capacious novel..." - Chapter 16

"The Dutch House is unusual, thoughtful and oddly exciting, as well-told domestic dramas can be." - Columbus Dispatch

"Patchett's storytelling abilities shine in this gratifying novel." - Associated Press

"As always, Patchett leads us to a truth that feels like life rather than literature." - The Guardian

"For Patchett fans who have been waiting for years, it's a worthwhile read." - Evening Standard (London)

"Ann Patchett spins a dark, compelling fairy tale in The Dutch House." - Entertainment Weekly

"The Dutch House confirms what we've always known: Ann Patchett doesn't write a bad book." - BookPage

"This finely textured novel is made up of many such small, intimate moments, yet the effect is sweeping, grand, and lavish-and all deeply moving." - New York Journal of Books

"This is a serious and poignant story, but also a delightfully funny one." - Washington Independent Review of Books

"This richly furnished novel gives brilliantly clear views into the lives it contains." - Kirkus Reviews(starred review)

"You won't want to put down this engrossing, warmhearted book even after you've read the last page." - NPR

"Expect miracles when you read Ann Patchett's fiction." - New York Times Book Review

"Patchett is a master storyteller." - O, the Oprah Magazine

"Patchett writes enviable prose-fluid, simple, direct, clear, and fearless." - Esquire

"Enchanting." - PEOPLE Magazine, Best Books of Fall 2019

"Patchett is at her subtle yet shining finest in this gloriously incisive, often droll, quietly suspenseful drama of family, ambition, and home. . . . With echoes of F. Scott Fitzgerald and in sync with Alice McDermott, Patchett gracefully choreographs surprising revelations and reunions as her characters struggle with the need to be one's true self." - Booklist

"The Dutch House is beautifully written and often tender." - The Spectator

"A great novelist is on top form with this tale of lost family home." - The Times (London)

    A Captivating Timeless Classic, Charming and Enchanting

    First of, I have to admit that I had this book read to me. HarperCollins has produced an audio version, and I do hope it will find its way onto this website. Tom Hanks has done the honours, and he has done so as beautifully and as charmingly as ever. I am truly and positively enchanted. Secondly, I simply had to buy a paper version. I love the portrait on the cover. And when the picture was finally featured in the novel (towards the end; I may have missed it being mentioned earlier), there was no way around it any longer, I had to have a hard copy. What's not to like about Ann Patchett? Not only is she a very good writer, she is also a colleague, as it were, as the co-owner of Parnassus Books in Nashville. She seems to have done everything right in the Dutch House. "The Dutch House" is a timeless classic. It's set in the sixties and in the years running up to the turn of the century, but it would also work if it was set a couple of hundred years before our time or after; the time doesn't even matter. It's timeless like an old house, and possibly as steadfast. There's sadness, there's joy (remember "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way"). A jewel, a treasure, pure gold. It also reminded me very much of "The Great Gatsby", although there are no glamorous parties at the Dutch House, at least not at first. What's not to love? (P.S. German translation "Das Holländerhaus" due to be published on June 2, 2020!)
