The Dutch House by Ann Patchett

I love books like this one. The plot is interesting yet unremarkable, an everyday life kind of story, making it easy for me to connect it to my own life. I was surprised by how hard the ending hit me – I hadn’t realized how attached to the characters I’d become – and how deeply it made me reflect on the way I want to live. I’ll definitely be looking for more books by Patchett.
