Recommending: THE DUTCH HOUSE

5. THE DUTCH HOUSE by Ann Patchett (4/28/20)

When I saw that Tom Hanks was the narrator/performer of this audiobook, I was even more excited to read it. The narrator can make a big difference in the book and really bring it to life. The story is a little Cinderella-ish in that it involves a mean step-mother. This goes farther in depth about the bond between the two siblings who are thrown from wealth to poverty when their step-mother exiles them from their beloved home.

Hanks and Patchett bring this story to life. This is a moving portrayal of resentment, survival when lives become changed in an instant.
