This was an excellent story. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it was too short. Really good though. A mother and her daughters share some wonderful times and memories together at the beach.

This novella is only 120 pages long, but it's packed with emotion. The story takes place primarily over seven days and features Maggie, a world-renowned photographer, and her two adult daughters. She invites / summons them to spend a week with her at a borrowed beach cabin to clear the air of their strained relationships. Of course, Maggie has a very serious reason to reconnect with her daughters that she's reluctant to share with them.

The plot is similar to the song "Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chaplin; Maggie has been 'too successful' in training her daughters to be busy and productive. Seaside was published in 2001, but the only aspect that feels dated are references to technology, of which there are many because the daughters are more focused on their responsibilities at home rather than their mother.

The themes of this story are universal and most readers can see themselves in one of the characters.
