Three generations of Kelleher women find themselves at crossroads in their lives, sharing the family's summer cottage in Maine. The cottage is as much a character as the women and their stories.
Each chapter is told from the perspective of Alice--the matriarch, Kathleen--Alice's eldest daughter, Maggie--Kathleen's daughter, or Ann Marie--Alice's daughter in law. The author does a nice job capturing the voice of each of these women and their story. The ins and outs of the relationships are a bit cliche for my liking, but the back story ties everything together.
This was a good summer read. Kind of a family saga (soap opera). My only complaint is that it was cliche.
