Sandwich by Catherine Newman

The summer has ended but it you want to read one more summertime book to transition you into fall, this is the one. "Sandwich" by Catherine Newman is the story of a family who visits Cape Cod every summer. Like so many close families, this story involves not only a husband and wife and their kids but also a set of grandparents. Rocky, the mother, always looks forward to her family's summer visits to the Cape. The cottage they rent is far from perfect, but so familiar even down to its bad plumbing. But this summer, with her parents aging, and her children growing up and falling in love, Rocky has time to reflect on her own aging process as well as her parents. Like any family saga, there is humor, sadness, joy as well as secrets from the past that might come up at the wrong time. For any woman in her 50s, this book will resonate about how families can be stressful, complicated and hopefully comforting, too. "Sandwich" is a book to read now, to make the summer last, or a book to transition you into the family holiday season. To buy this book on Amazon click here.
