Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2020, it's a big, immersive read for anyone who loves richly drawn characters, sibling rivalry, long-held secrets and the messy, enduring pull of family love. A perfect paperback pick for book clubs and fans of contemporary literary fiction. About the Book: When Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall giddily in love in the 1970s, they have no idea what lies ahead. Decades later, their four wildly different daughters - Wendy, Violet, Liza and Grace - are each navigating their own private unravelling. Wendy, widowed young, numbs her grief with liquor and younger men. Violet, once a sharp-elbowed litigator, hides a devastating secret behind her anxious calm. Liza, newly pregnant, watches her partner sink into depression just as everything should be falling into place. Grace, the youngest, has told a lie so enormous it threatens her entire adult life. When the son David and Marilyn gave up for adoption years before unexpectedly reappears, the family's fragile equilibrium shatters, forcing old wounds back into the light. Lombardo moves fluidly between decades, tracing the Sorensons from their scrappy early marriage through years of quiet crisis, drawing every character with tenderness and unflinching honesty. Funny, sad and deeply humane, it captures the chaos of sisterhood, the compromises of long marriage, and how one family's past keeps reshaping its present, drawing comparisons to Jonathan Franzen and Anne Tyler. Key Benefits: An immersive, multigenerational family saga spanning four decades of love and secrets. Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2020 and a widely praised literary debut.
