__________
When Daphne notices an older gentleman following her around the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, she doesn't expect it to be Eddie - her former stepfather.
Married to her mother for a short time when Daphne was nine, she hasn't seen Eddie for many years; not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their lives.
Meeting again now, Daphne and Eddie feel that time has fallen away. Their earlier relationship was brief but had a profound impact on both of them. Together, they consider not only their past, but the joys of the present and their commitment to face the future together.
A moving, luminous story about how family, memory and love endures, Whistler paints an intimate portrait of how the feeling of being known by one other person, even for a short period of time, can change everything.

Recenzii
One of the most beloved authors of her generation
Ann Patchett leads us with the intelligence, detail, wit and nuance of the greatest chroniclers of human nature and relationships. Nothing escapes her
Legions of her fans have been waiting for author Ann Patchett's new novel Whistler which unlocks memories and a lifetime of secrets . One of the most critically acclaimed novelists in America today
An icon of American letters . Nobody's sitting around going, 'Wow, what we really need is another Patchett novel', she modestly told The Guardian three years ago. In our dark and twisted times, however, some readers might feel that's exactly what they need
Whistler is top-shelf comfort food, the literary equivalent of pricey ice-cream
Reflective and luminous, this masterpiece is an unmissable celebration of love
No-one does effortless storytelling quite like this Women's Prize-winning author
This generous-hearted, clever and poignantly revealing tale feels another sure-fire hit. Spend a day on the couch in its warm, riveting company and you won't regret it
A tale of secrets and lasting love, enriched by sharply drawn characters
Patchett is the rare and fortunate writer whose words resonate among friends and strangers alike. A story of improbable meetings and deepening bonds
Few writers are more adept than Patchett at delineating the collisions between present and past
Warm, wise and wryly entertaining
A quietly compelling story about the power of familial love to transcend time and blood
Stunning
A story warm with the power of connection
It's stayed in my mind more vividly than any other Patchett novel I've read
One of my favourite 'reading-as-a-balm-for-whatever-ails-you' kind of authors... This is a deeply moving story about enduring affection
Wonderful and deeply satisfying ... The best writers make their readers feel welcomed into their books, and Whistler is such a welcoming and generous novel. It felt like a painting, an old canvas being carefully restored inch by precious inch
Reading this novel was an utterly delightful experience. I love the portrait of Eddie Triplett ... I love the sisters and their bond and their pragmatic mother. But most of all, I love that it's possible to spend time with them all, and that this story is about kind people just living as best they can. And right now, in this mean world, that is exactly what I need
Whistler is a sweet, gentle story of reconnection and love and Patchett's prose is as masterful as ever
