Title: memorable family tale
Product review: Three sisters who haven't spoken for years are summoned back home by their grandmother, who forces them to unite by putting on a play she's written.I loved the family in this story, the very different sisters and eccentric grandmother. Ms. McInerney saved the characters from stereotype quite nicely by allowing them their flaws...the grandmother is a bit of a compulsive liar, the eldest sister a society climber, the youngest too certain of her own charm. The only flaw was the ending...when the main storyline ends and the sisters have resolved their conflicts and there's still 40 pages yet to go, you just know something bad's about to happen. And while the author hints at this throughout the book, the ending felt a bit unnecessary. I would've liked it better if it ended when the plot had been resolved, rather than where it actually does. Still, well worth a read if you like quirky families, lovely romances and memorable characters.
