Jeudevine Library will hold a discussion on THE DUTCH HOUSE by Ann Patchett on Thursday, Sept. 30 at 5:15 pm.

"On the most basic level, The Dutch House is a book about two people piecing together the fragments of their youth… Maeve and Danny's childhood has a fairytale quality, as if Cinderella and Hansel & Gretel were mixed together. They grow up in a wealthy household but lose everything, their mother is presumed to be dead, Andrea plays the role of the evil stepmother, and their stepsisters Nora and Bright are brought in and given preferential treatment. Like Hansel & Gretel, Maeve and Danny are forced to lean on each other and, as adults, are trying to pick up the pieces of their childhood and find a way back home."
