Whistler

by Ann Patchett

Ann Patchett's Whistler opens on two people who shared a single strange year decades ago and place each other again, much older now, across a crowded gallery at the Met. It's a hushed, deeply felt novel about memory and the small choices that quietly turn out to be the large ones. Best for readers who live for character-driven literary fiction.
