Whistler by Ann Patchett
\n\nWhen Daphne Fuller and her husband Jonathan visit the M etropolitan Museum of Art\, they notice an older\, white-haired gentleman following them. The man turns out to be Eddie Triplett\, her former stepfa ther\, who had been married to her mother for a little more than year when Daphne was nine. Now fifty-three\, Daphne hasn't seen Eddie for many year s\, not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their l ives. Meeting again\, time falls away\; while their relationship was brief \, it had a profound impact on them both\, and now that they are reunited\ , they have no intention of ever being separated again. Whistler is a stor y about two adults looking back over the choices they made\, and the choic es that were made for them. It's a story about bravery\, memory\, the ofte n small yet consequential moments that define our lives\, and the endless stream of loss that in time comes for us all. Beautiful in its simplicity\ , it is ultimately about how love endures\, and how the feeling of being k nown by one other person\, even for a short period of time\, can change ev erything.
