Whistler by Ann Patchett review – a saccharine story of reunion

Ann Patchett's novel "Whistler" follows Daphne Fuller, a high-school teacher reunited with her estranged stepfather Eddie after 40 years. The pair reconnect at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and slip back into devotion with suspicious ease. Reviewers note the book offers saccharine comfort rather than the subtle tension that elevated Patchett's previous novel "Tom Lake.".
