Whistler — Ann Patchett
Katie Couric Book Club Pick · Good Housekeeping Book Club Pick · A Goodreads Most Anticipated Book of the Year
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake and The Dutch House comes a moving novel about memory, loss, and the enduring connections that shape our lives.
When Daphne Fuller and her husband visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they notice an older man following them through the galleries. The man is Eddie Triplett, Daphne’s former stepfather, whom she hasn’t seen since childhood. Though he was only part of her life for a brief period, their reunion stirs memories of a pivotal event that changed both of their lives forever.
As Daphne and Eddie reconnect, they begin to reflect on the choices they made, the choices made for them, and the ways a single relationship can echo across decades. Through their shared history, Whistler explores family, forgiveness, and the lasting impact of feeling truly known by another person.
A luminous and deeply human novel about the sweetness and impermanence of life, and the power of connection to endure through time.
