I really enjoyed this book about two sisters (early 30s), their mother and aunt. They spend a month one sumemr at the rustic family summer home on an island near Nantucket. All the women have some drama in their personal lives, including break-ups, secrets, new and old lovers. I could identify with all of them as they swing between jealousy, support and caring for their sisters. The author is very descriptive of the women's thoughts and feelings, so you can understand why they do and say some things. I got to know this family as if I was a close friend and neighbor and already miss them!
