The Sweeney Sisters A Novel

"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 June night, his daughters return to their childhood home ... As guests pay their respects and reminisce [at his wake], one stranger, emboldened by whiskey, has crashed the party: it turns out that she too is a Sweeney sister"--Publisher marketing.
