Whistler by Ann Patchett

Book Description:

When Daphne notices an older gentleman following her around the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, she doesn't expect it to be Eddie – her former stepfather.

Married to her mother for a short time when Daphne was nine, she hasn't seen Eddie for many years; not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their lives.

Meeting again now, Daphne and Eddie feel that time has fallen away.

Written by Ann Patchett, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake and The Dutch House, Whistler is a moving, luminous novel about how family, memory, and love endure. Now fifty-three, Daphne hasn't seen Eddie in decades, but their brief relationship had a profound impact on them both. Together, they consider not only their past, but the joys of the present and their commitment to face the future together. It is a story about bravery, memory, and the often small yet consequential moments that define our lives, and the endless stream of loss that in time comes for us all.
