This is a good story: not predictable. The house "The Dutch House" is the central unifying character/object for those who live there. Some hate the house; some love it; some are in awe of it. For Danny, the narrator, and his sister Maeve, the central characters, this house was their home while growing up. The house was a gift from their father to their mother; their mother hates this house with its many windows and 3 floors. Their step-mother adores the house. We watch Danny and Maeve grow up, always there for one another. . . and we see how they are drawn to The Dutch House even when old after they were kicked out by their stepmother after their father had died many years earlier.
