The Dutch House by Ann Patchett

I have no quality complaints about this book, but I'm not sure how much I liked reading it. I actually listened to a fair amount of the audiobook, which is narrated by Tom Hanks and helped me get through the story when I was getting reading fatigue. I wouldn't call it boring, but it felt long and at times I had trouble immersing myself in the story. There are some really beautiful moments, and I would say without a doubt that part 3 was my favorite part of the book. The majority of the rest of it I just kind of pushed through. I can see how it could be a 5 star read, I just didn't connect with it in that way.
