An
accomplished storyteller returns with her biggest, boldest, most entertaining
novel yet—a hilarious, heartfelt story about books, love, sisterhood, and the
surprises we discover in our DNA that combines the wit of Jonathan Tropper with
the heart of Susan Wiggs.
Maggie, Eliza, and Tricia Sweeney grew up as a happy
threesome in the idyllic seaside town of Southport, Connecticut. But their
mother’s death from cancer fifteen years ago tarnished their golden-hued
memories, and the sisters drifted apart. Their one touchstone is their father,
Bill Sweeney, an internationally famous literary lion and college professor
universally adored by critics, publishers, and book lovers. When Bill dies
unexpectedly one cool June night, his shell-shocked daughters return to their
childhood home. They aren’t quite sure what the future holds without their
larger-than-life father, but they do know how to throw an Irish wake to honor a
man of his stature.
But as guests pay their respects and reminisce, one
stranger, emboldened by whiskey, has crashed the party. It turns out that she
too is a Sweeney sister.
When Washington, DC based journalist Serena Tucker had her
DNA tested on a whim a few weeks earlier, she learned she had a 50% genetic
match with a childhood neighbor—Maggie Sweeney of Southport, Connecticut. It
seems Serena’s chilly WASP mother, Birdie, had a history with Bill Sweeney—one
that has remained totally secret until now.
Once the shock wears off, questions abound. What does this
mean for William’s literary legacy? Where is the unfinished memoir he’s stashed
away, and what will it reveal? And how will a fourth Sweeney sister—a blond
among redheads—fit into their story?
By turns revealing, insightful, and uproarious, The Sweeney
Sisters is equal parts cautionary tale and celebration—a festive and heartfelt
look at what truly makes a family.
