Чи можливо побачити минуле таким, яким воно було насправді?

Кінець Другої світової війни. Сиріл Конрой розбудовує справжню імперію нерухомості, яка виводить його родину з бідності до неабияких статків. І перше, що він робить, розбагатівши — купує Голландський дім, розкішний маєток у філадельфійському передмісті. Однак те, що мало стати сюрпризом для дружини й початком нового, ліпшого життя, натомість запускає зворотний відлік до цілковитого занепаду їхньої родини.

Літописцем цієї драми стає син Сиріла, Денні. Їх із сестрою, кмітливою й гострою на язик Мейв, виганяє з дому мачуха. Двоє підлітків, які виросли в просторому домі з прислугою, опиняються в злиднях і швидко усвідомлюють, що можуть покладатися лише одне на одного. Цей нерозривний зв’язок зберігає їм життя і руйнує їхнє майбутнє.

«Голландський дім» — це історія втраченого раю, яка ставить непрості запитання про любов, самопожертву і прощення, про те, ким ми є і ким хочемо себе бачити. Ви можете смакувати цей роман поволі чи прочитати його якнайшвидше, щоб дізнатись, чим же все закінчилося, але Денні і Мейв однаково залишаться з вами надовго.

This is a story about Peter Duke who went on to be a famous actor.
This is a story about falling in love with Peter Duke who wasn't famous at all.
It's about falling so wildly in love with him – the way one will at twenty-four – that it felt like jumping off a roof at midnight.
There was no way to foresee the mess it would come to in the end.
It's spring and Lara's three grown daughters have returned to the family orchard. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the one story they've always longed to hear – of the film star with whom she shared a stage, and a romance, years before.

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.
