WHISTLER BY ANN PATCHETT
Past and present collide for Ann Patchett’s 53-year-old character, Daphne Fuller, when Eddie Triplett, the stepfather that she loved and lost as a child, recognizes Daphne one afternoon at the MET. Their unlikely reunion cracks open the story that each of the characters has told themselves about the event that ripped their lives apart when Daphne was nine. The tension in the novel builds as long-held secrets emerge, and the life-changing bond between Daphne and Eddie lands a heartwarming second chance. Ever a writer's writer, Patchett reminds us that it's never too late to live a life full of meaning and connection. Whistler is soul-stirring and deeply satisfying.
I loved it.
