A Week at the Shore: A Novel
In A Week at the Shore, New York Times bestselling author Barbara Delinsky explores how lives and relationships are forever changed when three sisters reunite at their family Rhode Island beach house.
One phone call is all it takes to lure real estate photographer Mallory Aldiss back to her family Rhode Island beach home. It's been twenty years since she's been gone―running from the scandal that destroyed her parents' marriage, drove her and her two sisters apart, and crushed her relationship with her first love. But going home is fraught with emotional baggage―memories, mysteries and secrets abound.
Mal's thirteen-year-old daughter, Joy, has never been to the place where Mal's life was shaped and is desperate to go. Fatherless, she craves family and especially wants to spend time with the grandfather she barely knows.
In just seven watershed days on the Rhode Island coast three women will test the bonds of sisterhood, friendship and family, and discover the role that love and memory plays in defining their lives.

Knowing the Atlantic coast, where putting yourself in the characters place makes this a very good read. Trying to come up with the ending before you get there makes it a mystery. Yes I enjoyed from start till finish.

I love Barbara’s books! Each draws you into a multilayered story, with twists and turns along the way. Each of her books is different from the last. No predictable formula used.

This was the perfect summer read. Couldn't put it down. Barbara Delinsky has a knack for intertwining the characters lives but still highlighting them as individual characters. You get to know each of them. Loved the family dynamics because they are relatable Great story. Didn't want it to end Kathy Tucson, AZ

I love the story with all of its layers. The characters were very different and believable. The dynamics between siblings was so true. It also touched what happens when you have a parent that has dementia. The stress it puts on a caregivers and family. It was a wonderful book.

I'll admit I've been reading a lot of fluff pieces recently. This is a beach read but no fluff. The characters are well developed and not all likeable. It is a story of dysfunctional relationships, mysteries that may or may not be solved, and multiple definitions of love. While the intensity almost had me give up on the book, there was an equal intensity that compelled me to keep reading. It was worth it!
