Review Quotes: "A beautiful, big-hearted novel that celebrates the love, the complexity, and the life-long bond of sisterhood. With a beach house in gorgeous Coronado as the setting, The May House is the perfect summer read and a touching reminder that some promises are well worth keeping." -- Amy Poeppel, author of Far and Away Publisher Marketing: "The May House is a love letter to sisterhood and the eternal ties that, like the tide, continuously bring us back where we belong. A sparkling, unforgettable read from a standout voice." -- Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author Three adult sisters inherit a beach house on the condition they spend one week together every May, leading to the discovery of family secrets, unexpected romance, and a new understanding of each other. No matter what's going on in the May sisters' lives, the one thing they can rely upon is seeing each other for one week in May at their grandmother's beachside home in gorgeous Coronado. As adults, Julia, Emily, and Nora aren't particularly close, their homes spread out across the country and the sisters busy with careers, relationships, and the minutia of life, but their promise to return each year keeps them anchored together. Until one May when Julia, the oldest and most dependable sister, doesn't show. Suddenly Nora and Emily start to question how much they truly know about their sister's life. Told in alternating points of view, spanning from their time together with Grandma Vera as kids into their adult lives, The May House explores how a decades-long family secret has unknowingly shaped each sister and, ultimately, how it brings them closer together. Funny, poignant, and brimming with heart, The May House is an irresistible story about the special bond between sisters who are figuring out what matters most in life, in all its ups and downs.
