MEET THE SORENSON FAMILY MARILYN has somehow fallen into motherhood and spent four decades married to DAVID, who`s pretty certain he loves her more than anyone has ever loved another person. WENDY, their eldest, a cause for concern, soothes herself with drink after being widowed young, while VIOLET, lawyer-turned-stay-at-home-mother, is disturbed by the reappearance of a son placed for adoption fifteen years earlier. LIZA, a professor, is pregnant with a baby she`s not sure she wants by a man she`s not sure she loves and GRACE, their dawdling youngest daughter, lives a lie that no one in her family suspects. `A gripping and poignant ode to a messy, loving family in all its glory` Madeline Miller `A moving, immersive, often very funny study of family and sisterhood` Sunday Times `Like Meg Wolitzer. A forensic dissection of family past and present, I loved it. If you like reading about relationships, this one is for you.` Pandora Sykes
