Gorgeous! This beautifully memorable and eloquent novel celebrates the life of one family in all its glory while on their summer holiday in Cape Cod. If you are looking for a piece of reading sunshine that also doesn’t shy away from the more difficult side of life then step this way. Spend time with three generations of this family (and their cat) while on their annual beach vacation.
Rocky narrates, and while dealing with the physical and mental symptoms of the menopause she also looks back at previous holidays in their slightly weary holiday home. Author Catherine Newman has gifted Rocky the most fabulously intimate voice, innermost thoughts spill in vibrant colour across the page.
Each character can be felt, they are put together in such a way that ensures they feel authentically real. The everyday is described in such delicious detail that it creates an energy. From the food, to the sleeping arrangements, to the trips to the beach, each little snippet and morsel of information joins and intertwines and creates this family.
Rocky is going to remain with me, she took my hand and led me through darkness, joy, and into ordinary normal glorious life. This just has to be a LoveReading Star Book, and I’ve also chosen it as a Liz Pick of the Month. Sandwich, so profound and penetrating, is also a delightfully captivating and entertaining read. Highly recommended.
One week in Cape Cod. The perfect family holiday. What could possibly go wrong...?
