I love what Catherine Newman did in We All Want Impossible Things — somehow making a book about dying excruciatingly funny — in Sandwich, she turns her impossibly hilarious prose towards marriage, motherhood, menopause, grown children, and beach houses, among other things. Rocky and her family return to the same rental in Sandwich, MA that they have vacationed in for more than 20 years and the week brings back memories both good and bad. If you need plot in your novels then Sandwich may not be for you, but if you want painfully funny commentary —and sometimes just the pain — of middle age, beach rentals, and parenting then grab a copy of Sandwich. ( ) Thank you to Goodreads, the author and the publisher for this ARC. I'm not very original in what I read and this is one of those examples, family, beach, etc. But it is what it is and I enjoy these types of books so I read them. This one happens to be set in Cape Cod. Rocky and Nick go for their usual week in the Summer to Cape Cod with their mid-20's children as they usually do and it's a laugh a minute with them bickering and reminiscing (especially Rocky) about when the kids were little here. She's definitely going through menopause when she said that Nick couldn't figure out that she never eats sweets for breakfast and yells at him (in the bakery no less) for not knowing this year after year. This book was so good and Nick and Rocky's kids were so mature. You don't see that in every family book and they all got along. Then at the end of their stay, her parents show up as always. They were a sweet couple too. The cover is beautiful too. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Sandwich is joy in book form. I laughed continuously, except for the parts that made me cry. Catherine Newman does a miraculous job reminding us of all the wonder there is to be found in life."--Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake "A total delight."--Kate Christensen, author of The Great Man and Welcome Home, Stranger From the beloved author of We All Want Impossible Things, a moving, hilarious story of a family summer vacation full of secrets, lunch, and learning to let go. For the past two decades, Rocky has looked forward to her family's yearly escape to Cape Cod. Their humble beach-town rental has been the site of sweet memories, sunny days, great meals, and messes of all kinds: emotional, marital, and--thanks to the cottage's ancient plumbing--septic too. This year's vacation, with Rocky sandwiched between her half-grown kids and fully aging parents, promises to be just as delightful as summers past--except, perhaps, for Rocky's hormonal bouts of rage and melancholy. (Hello, menopause!) Her body is changing--her life is, too. And then a chain of events sends Rocky into the past, reliving both the tenderness and sorrow of a handful of long-ago summers. It's one precious week: everything is in balance; everything is in flux. And when Rocky comes face to face with her family's history and future, she is forced to accept that she can no longer hide her secrets from the people she loves.
