A multi-generational novel in which the four adult daughters of a Chicago couple--still madly in love after forty years--match wits, harbor grudges, and recklessly ignite old rivalries until a long-buried secret threatens to shatter the lives they've built. When Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, they are blithely ignorant of all that's to come. By 2016, their four radically different daughters are each in a state of unrest: Wendy, widowed young, soothes herself with booze and younger men; Violet, a litigator-turned-stay-at-home-mom, battles anxiety and self-doubt when the darkest part of her past resurfaces; Liza, a neurotic and newly tenured professor, finds herself pregnant with a baby she's not sure she wants by a man she's not sure she loves; and Grace, the dawdling youngest daughter, begins living a lie that no one in her family even suspects. Above it all, the daughters share the lingering fear that they will never find a love quite like their parents'.… (más)

I got this book because of the fabulous reviews. But, I didn’t like the characters at all. Got tired and bored and stopped reading half way through. ( )

Loved, loved, loved this one. Must read if you have sisters or daughters. Lombardo lays out the weird complexity of sisterhood and family with perfect acuity. ( )

Way. Too. Long. With much redundancy about the characters and the plot lines. Some parts of the stories were told three or four times throughout the book which for those of us who remember what is read, is just too much. ( )

Spänningsskapande att skildra familjens medlemmar i två tidsförlopp. Kunde ha redigerats hårdare, ibland känns det som att författaren faktamässigt är ute på tunn is, särskilt i medicinska frågor. ( )

3.5 stars - This is the kind of book Anne Bogel would call a "multi-generational family saga." I was here for it. I switched back and forth from the audiobook to ebook, since I found it engaging enough for both daytime listening while catching up around the house and bedtime reading on the page. No, I didn't love everything about all of the characters, but there was some character development, and I appreciated reading about the family dynamic from all of the different viewpoints. I will quibble and reduce 1/2 star for a husband who infantilizes his wife by calling her "kid," though. ( )

So he was left with the women, Violet and Liza and Wendy and Marilyn all staring at him like a horror-movie coven of unassuming kindergarten teachers who were about to disembowel him.
She'd given up so much and so little when she agreed to marry him, but he had been so fixated on having her that he had rarely stopped to consider what it would mean for her to allow herself to be had. This is how he saw it: getting her, winning. It wasn't fair. She deserved more.
Marriage, she had learned, was a strangely pleasurable power game, a careful balance of competing egos, conflicting moods. She could turn hers off in order to allow his to shine. Conservation. Reciprocity. She was allowed to feel confident and excited only when he was feeling anxious and pessimistic. If he worried about everything, she was allowed to worry about nothing.
And it was weird, she thought, feeling adult and aware, how a thing so terrible as losing someone could yield goodness in the ones who were left.
It wasn't always the most logical decision that was the right decision.
