具体描述
At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves.
The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother. The two wealthy siblings are thrown back into the poverty their parents had escaped from and find that all they have to count on is one another. It is this unshakeable bond between them that both saves their lives and thwarts their futures.
Set over the course of five decades, The Dutch House is a dark fairy tale about two smart people who cannot overcome their past. Despite every outward sign of success, Danny and Maeve are only truly comfortable when they’re together. Throughout their lives they return to the well-worn story of what they’ve lost with humor and rage. But when at last they’re forced to confront the people who left them behind, the relationship between an indulged brother and his ever-protective sister is finally tested.

其实不是很喜欢汤姆汉克斯的朗读。有点不耐烦，有点赶。故事也是种种的不可思议。对于母亲抛弃两个年幼的孩子而去遥远的地方帮助穷人这个情节，狭隘的我不懂这个大爱。
评分结尾有点不尽人意啊。。感觉mavae和mr.otterman应该是有affair的。。但是因为没有上帝视角，所以好多事也只能猜测。
评分一座房子一对姐弟一个家族故事，情节略cliche平淡无记忆点
评分适合kill time和中学生的英文读物，我都能想象出来怎么出阅读理解单选题。
评分为了是Tom Hanks听的有声书，没啥盐味儿
