A Katie Couric Book Club Pick, Good Housekeeping Book Club Pick and Goodreads Most Anticipated Book of Summer, Whistler comes from Ann Patchett, the acclaimed, prize-winning #1 New York Times bestselling author. Praised by The Boston Globe as majestic, intimate and masterfully written, this moving novel reflects on the sweetness and impermanence of life and the power of connection to defy time.
When Daphne Fuller and her husband Jonathan visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they notice an older, white-haired gentleman following them. He turns out to be Eddie Triplett, Daphne’s former stepfather, who was married to her mother for a little more than a year when Daphne was nine. Now fifty-three, Daphne has not seen Eddie for many years, not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their lives.
As Daphne and Eddie reconnect, time seems to fall away. Though their relationship was brief, it shaped them both in lasting ways, and once reunited, they have no intention of being separated again.
Whistler is a story about two adults looking back at the choices they made, and the choices that were made for them. It explores bravery, memory, small but consequential moments and the losses that eventually reach every life. Beautiful in its simplicity, it is ultimately about how love endures, and how being truly known by another person, even for a short time, can change everything.
