Summer House

Summer House - Nancy Thayer Summer House by Nancy Thayer
Helen married into the Worth Wheelwright family of Boston and they summered on the island. She was more interested in art galleries.
Now that her kids were grown she's to arrive at the summer house for 2 months.
The kids: Charlotte worked 3 years at the bank and had had enough=she's more into her organic gardening.
Oliver would never work at the bank, more interested in sports and art. He's an architect working in CA.
Heddy is a druggie and alcoholic and the family didn't want her to work in the bank.
She finds another clue to her uneasiness when she hears Worth on the phone with another.
The big family get together is the grandmother's 90th birthday party.
Love mention of the hand knitted birthday gift Nona is given from Helen. The rest of the family have also arrived, including kids in all ages.
Travel descriptions are awesome, some places I've actually been to myself.
What a treasure this book is, all aspects of it kept me from doing my chores as I listened about all members of the family.
Brings this book full circle when she tells her children of some unknown facts...
Love how everyone is so different but they are the same.
