The matriarch of the family resides here in the ancestral summer home (mansion), and at last she has her wish--a reason for all of the extended family to gather around for summer fun and games. The reason is that her young step granddaughter is getting married there. And as we meet the bride, Ruby; and her family; we begin to learn of the twists and turns of their lives. They are all trying to navigate through a soap opera's worth of dilemmas and the pandemic, at the same time. The house itself is a sentient being, and we learn of her emotions as well. To me that is the glue that binds it all together. Through it all, we laugh and cry as we face the ups and downs, including downright tragedies of life and of the choices made by each character. We also learn what the most important thing is in the end, which we really did know all along--family.

There are a few more indulgent sex scenes, so be forewarned that if that's not your thing, skip it. (  ) ACLopez6 | Feb 25, 2023 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTELLER From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of That Summer comes another heartfelt and unputdownable novel of family, secrets, and the ties that bind. When her twenty-two-year-old stepdaughter announces her engagement to her pandemic boyfriend, Sarah Danhauser is shocked. But the wheels are in motion. Headstrong Ruby has already set a date (just three months away!) and spoken to her beloved safta, Sarah's mother Veronica, about having the wedding at the family's beach house in Cape Cod. Sarah might be worried, but Veronica is thrilled to be bringing the family together one last time before putting the big house on the market. But the road to a wedding day usually comes with a few bumps. Ruby has always known exactly what she wants, but as the wedding date approaches, she finds herself grappling with the wounds left by the mother who walked out when she was a baby. Veronica ends up facing unexpected news, thanks to her meddling sister, and must revisit the choices she made long ago, when she was a bestselling novelist with a different life. Sarah's twin brother, Sam, is recovering from a terrible loss, and confronting big questions about who he is??questions he hopes to resolve during his stay on the Cape. Sarah's husband, Eli, who's been inexplicably distant during the pandemic, confronts the consequences of a long ago lapse from his typical good-guy behavior. And Sarah, frustrated by her husband, concerned about her stepdaughter, and worn out by challenges of life during quarantine, faces the alluring reappearance of someone from her past and a life that could have been. When the wedding day arrives, lovers are revealed as their true selves, misunderstandings take on a life of their own, and secrets come to light. There are confrontations and revelations that will touch each member of the extended family, ensuring that nothing will ever be the same. From "the undisputed boss of the beach read" (The New York Times), The Summer Place is a testament to family in all its messy glory; a story about what we sacrifice and how we forgive. Enthralling, witty, big-hearted, and sharply observed, this is Jennifer Weiner's love letter to the Outer Cape and the power of home, the way our lives are enriched by the people we call family, and the endless ways love can surprise Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
