Más información sobre el libro

Therese Anne Fowler's novel is a warm, perceptive exploration of sisterhood, heartbreak, and the journey of remaking life at its halfway point. The story centers on the Geller sisters—Beck, Claire, and Sophie—who face the impending loss of their pragmatic, widowed mother, Marti, who takes her secrets to the grave. Marti has arranged for her modest estate to be easily divided, including a stipulation that their summer cottage in Maine must be sold, with the proceeds shared among the sisters. Beck, the eldest, is a freelance journalist whose marriage feels more like a sibling bond, with her husband Paul hiding troubling truths about his love life. The cottage represents Beck's secret desire to write a novel and redefine her relationship. Claire, the middle daughter and a pediatric cardiologist, feels like an outsider in her own family. Recently divorced, her unrequited love for the wrong man is taking a toll on her well-being. The youngest sister, Sophie, appears to lead a glamorous life filled with travel and celebrity encounters, but her reality is a precarious financial struggle. The arrival of C.J. Reynolds, an enigmatic ex-con with a hidden past, adds complexity to their lives. As the sisters confront their truths, everything is poised for change.
