,Charming ladiesâ€™ man Rory Randall dies with one last trick up his sleeve: His will includes a calculating clause mandating a summer-long reunion for his daughters, all from different marriagesâ€”that is, if they hope to inherit his posh Nantucket house. Relations among the three sisters are sour thanks to long-festering jealousies, resentments, and misunderstandings. Arden, a successful television host in Boston, hasnâ€™t been back to the island since her teenage years, when accusations of serious misbehavior led to her banishment. College professor Meg hopes to use her summer to finish a literary biography and avoid an amorous colleague. And secretive Jenny, an IT specialist, faces troubling questions about her identity while longing for her sistersâ€™ acceptance., Â , To their surprise, the three young women find their newfound sisterhood easier to trust than the men who show up to complicate their lives. And if that werenâ€™t problematic enough, their mothers descend on the island. When yet another visitor drops by the house with shocking news, the past comes screaming back with a vengeance. Having all the women from his life under his seaside roofâ€”and overseeing the subsequent drama of that perfect stormâ€”Rory Randall might just be enjoying a hearty laugh from above., Â , Nancy Thayerâ€™s novel insightfully illustrates how the push and pull of family altercations make us whole.
