? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

Ann Patchett’s The Dutch House sheds light on what it really means to share your life with a hero. Siblings Maeve and Danny share an angelic mother who is as humble as a saint and loved by all. But when she walks away from her husband’s sudden wealth to more modest milieux to dedicate her life to serving others, she doesn’t just leave the family’s estate and her heartbroken husband behind — she also leaves her two unwary children. Maeve quickly assumes the role of her younger brother’s protector and they face the many hardships and unexpected turns of life together. Told through Danny’s perspective, The Dutch House is a story of hardship and an unbreakable bond between siblings.
