Countdown – My Favorite Reads of 2020 – 4, 3, 2…1!
The Dutch House by Ann Patchett
This mythical, epic American opus follows the lives of brother and sister Maeve and Danny Conroy. They spin through their mansion feeling as if nothing in the world can hurt them, and it can’t, until their mother leaves. They soon learn that their father cares more about his work in real estate, and the buildings that represent his work than he does about anything…
The only difference between lying and acting was whether your audience was in on it, but it was all a performance just the same.
Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half
She would leave him.
She’d always had a good sense for when It was time to leave.
Call it intuition or restlessness, call it whatever you want.
Brit Bennett, The vanishing half
