At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves.
The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother. The two wealthy siblings are thrown back into the poverty their parents had escaped from and find that all they have to count on is one another. It is this unshakeable bond between them that both saves their lives and thwarts their futures.
Set over the course of five decades, The Dutch House is a dark fairy tale about two smart people who cannot overcome their past. Despite every outward sign of success, Danny and Maeve are only truly comfortable when they’re together. Throughout their lives they return to the well-worn story of what they’ve lost with humor and rage. But when at last they’re forced to confront the people who left them behind, the relationship between an indulged brother and his ever-protective sister is finally tested.

細水流長的傢庭故事，偉岸如母的長姐形象。
评分其實不是很喜歡湯姆漢剋斯的朗讀。有點不耐煩，有點趕。故事也是種種的不可思議。對於母親拋棄兩個年幼的孩子而去遙遠的地方幫助窮人這個情節，狹隘的我不懂這個大愛。
评分幾乎要逼著自己讀下去 did NOT enjoy it
评分我還挺喜歡這個故事的，一座大房子和一個傢庭，雖然有些沒有道理的地方，但生活就是沒有道理啊，更何況這個故事就是一個男孩長大的迴憶錄，充滿從他的角度來迴憶爸爸和姐姐。娓娓道來。tom hanks讀的有聲書。
评分Can I have a sister please?
