![]() ![]() Like Maeve, he struggles with losing the Dutch House and obsesses over it for many decades, but by the end of the novel, he has come to terms with his childhood traumas. He and his wife divorce each other but remain close, and he is a loving father to his kind and successful children. Danny does so, eventually establishing a decent relationship with Elna. ![]() Thus, when their mother returns-a mother of whom he has no memories-he is reluctant to let her get too close to Maeve until Maeve tells him she needs her mother and Danny needs to come to terms with it. Maeve is his anchor throughout his life, and he would do anything to protect her. He does eventually abandon his plan to become a doctor, begins his own real estate business, and is very successful. ![]() Danny pursues college and medical school at Maeve's behest, even though he'd rather go into real estate like his father. His older sister Maeve raises him after their mother leaves and their father marries the horrid Andrea, and especially after Cyril dies and Andrea kicks him and Maeve out of the house. He is smart and serious, albeit occasionally unmotivated and emotional. Danny narrates the novel as a boy, a young man, and an adult. ![]()
