"Meeting the Conroy family and stepping into their elaborate Dutch house--part museum, part home, with all its secrets and charm, comfort and sadness--enthralled me as the mystery unfolded like a gentle call to arms. From poverty to wealth and from wealth to poverty, we see through Danny's eyes the struggle to hold the family together against grief, greed, and the heartbreak of losing all that once bound them. Patchett paints a masterpiece here; there's no looking away. It lingers in your imagination long after the story has been told."
