Catherine Newman: Wreck, Gebunden

Klappentext

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK · INSTANTNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Wreck is a delight. What an absolute joy to be reunited with Rocky and her family, the characters we all fell in love with in Sandwich . Newman's prose is laugh-out-loud funny. It's also profound. I couldn't stop reading, even though I didn't want it to end."---J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of The Cliffs

"Wreck is the kind of book that pulls up a chair, pours the wine, and dives deep---equal parts hilarious, sharp, and achingly sincere. I didn't just read it---I felt known by it. A luminous, laugh-out-loud triumph."---Alison Espach, New York Times bestselling author of The Wedding People
The acclaimed bestselling author of Sandwichis back with a wonderful novel, full of laughter and heart, about marriage, family, and what happens when life doesn't go as planned.
If you loved Rocky and her family on vacation on Cape Cod, wait until you join them at home two years later. (And if this is your first meeting with this crew, get ready to laugh and cry---and relate.)
Rocky, still anxious, nostalgic, and funny, is living in Western Massachusetts with her husband Nick and their daughter Willa, who's back home after college. Their son, Jamie, has taken a new job in New York, and Mort, Rocky's widowed father, has moved in.
It all couldn't be more ridiculously normal . . . until Rocky finds herself obsessed with a local accident that only tangentially affects them---and with a medical condition that, she hopes, won't affect them at all.
With her signature wit and wisdom, Catherine Newman explores the hidden rules of family, the heavy weight of uncertainty, and the gnarly fact that people---no matter how much you love them---are not always exactly who you want them to be.
