About this item
"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.
