I loved this book. This book brought me right into the story of this family who is struggling at Thanksgiving. It was so relatable with aging parents, siblings trying to find their way with their lives and that of their children, a past tragedy and death of a child. I felt each person's anguish and joy. I am so thankful that I picked this book and that I was pick to read it. It will definitely be on my suggestion list for my bookish friends.

As soon as I saw this title I knew I wanted to read it and was glad to get it thru NetGalley. Another dysfunctional Irish family and this one unearths a lot when 3 sisters reunite for Thanksgiving at their elderly parents home, Each one of the sisters along with the parents buried a lot of secrets after experiencing trauma twice! It’s heartbreaking but can see see some hope at the end of this debut novel

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I really appreciated the deep, contemplative tones of this book. I had recently finished a lot of " brain candy" beachy reads, and this got me all up in my feelings! I really enjoyed this, and will be buying copies for my friends!

a rekindling of sisterhood, with lots of history and angst thrown in. Must admit I did skim a bit, but did want to see how it ends. Would recommend and would be a good beach read.

So many books about Irish dysfunctional families, so many tales of past accidents affecting the living-this pretty much sums up this title. Interesting in a way. Most likely a
Good beach read as there is nothing too deep in the messaging. And as an aside-please stop with the multi page acknowledgements!
