Whistler

From the internationally bestselling, prize-winning author of The Dutch House and Tom Lake comes Whistler—a moving, luminous story about memory, family, and enduring love.

About the Book: When Daphne notices an older gentleman following her through the halls of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, she certainly doesn’t expect it to be Eddie—her former stepfather. Married to her mother for only a short time when Daphne was nine years old, she hasn't seen Eddie in years; not since the fateful event that permanently shifted the trajectory of both their lives. Meeting again by chance, Daphne and Eddie find that decades of time simply fall away. Though their earlier relationship was brief, it left a profound and lasting mark on them both. As they reconnect, they reflect on the complexities of their shared past, the quiet joys of the present, and a renewed commitment to face the future side by side. Universally praised as one of the most beloved authors of her generation, Ann Patchett paints an intimate, breathtaking portrait of how the simple, powerful feeling of being truly known by another person can change everything.
