Sitting in the car talking reminded me a lot of my relationship with my brother and our relentless reminiscing and trying to make sense of the past

This was great on audio (narrated by Tom Hanks!) and would definitely make a good movie. I had trouble picturing The Dutch House in my mind. Good dysfunctional family drama, great writing and structure of the narrative.
