Maine

The Kelleher clan's beachfront holiday house creaks under a weight of secrets. Won in a bar-room bet after the War, it is a place where cocktails follow morning mass, children eavesdrop, and ancient grudges fester. One summer, three generations of Kelleher women descend on the shore. Kathleen, finally sober, hoped never to set foot there again. Maggie, pregnant, has left her hopeless boyfriend. Ann-Marie, bound to the family by marriage, fantasizes about an extra-marital affair. In the middle of all this is matriarch Alice, who drinks to forget her failings as a parent and the events of a sing.

  • "For the Kellehers, Maine is a place where children run in packs, showers are taken outdoors, and old Irish songs are sung around a piano. As three generations of women arrive at the family's beach house, each brings her own hopes and fears. Maggie is thirty-two and pregnant, waiting for the perfect moment to tell her imperfect boyfriend the news; Ann Marie, a Kelleher by marriage, is channeling her domestic frustration into a dollhouse obsession and an ill-advised crush; Kathleen, the black sheep, never wanted to set foot in the cottage again; and Alice, the matriarch at the center of it all, would trade every floorboard for a chance to undo the events of one night, long ago."

  • "Ein Sommer in Maine, vier Frauen und ihre Abgründe: Alice, die oft streng und unnahbar wirkt, würde alles dafür geben, eine einzige tragische Nacht in ihrem Leben ungeschehen zu machen, aber auch Tochter Kathleen, Enkelin Maggie und die scheinbar so perfekte Schwiegertochter Ann Marie, die am liebsten Puppenhäuser bastelt, haben panische Angst davor, dass ihre dunklen Geheimnisse ans Licht kommen könnten. Doch die Wogen gehen hoch zwischen den ungleichen Frauen, und die Fassaden bröckeln ... Eine meisterhaft erzählte Familiengeschichte in der Tradition der grossen amerikanischen Romanciers. J. Courtney Sullivan, Autorin und Journalistin, lebt in New York und schreibt u.a. für New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Elle und Men's Vogue. Ihr Roman Maine, der 2013 unter dem Titel Sommer in Maine bei Deuticke erscheint, war in den TOP 10 der besten Bücher 2011 des Time-Magazines."
  • "Een oude vrouw besluit haar kostbare huis aan het strand van Maine aan de kerk te schenken terwijl de hele familie er vanuit gaat dat het huis en eigen strand voor altijd in de familie zullen blijven."
  • "Three generations of women converge on the family beach house in this wickedly funny, emotionally resonant story of love and dysfunction from the author of Commencement. By turns uproarious and achingly sad, Maine reveals the sibling rivalry, alcoholism, social climbing, and Catholic guilt at the center of one family, along with the abiding, often irrational love that keeps them coming back, every summer, to the family house and to each other."
