Loved this story---messy family drama at its finest. There is just enough mess to make it fascinating and plenty of family love to round the edges. The novel begins with Sunday Brennan returning home after a five-year absence. As the book progresses, we learn what caused her to leave and whether she can really come back. Along the way Lange introduces us to all the family members in a deep exploration of their decisions, motivations and the consequential impact on others. Some readers had a problem with the ending, but I thought it left enough room for reader interpretation which I always appreciate. I loved Lange’s sophomore novel, The Connellys of County Down, so much and now this one even more. She has definitely become an auto-read author for me. ( )
This book tells the story of the Brennan family, specifically the Brennan children. The Brennans own a pub named Brennans on Long Island.
Five years prior to the story starting, Sunday Brennan left the Island to move to California and pursue a writing career. The story starts when Sunday is brought to the hospital following a car accident. Her emergency contact is her brother, Denny, who comes out to California to see her and brings her home.
Once home, she helps out with the pub and trying to figure out the books. When she first runs into Kale, her boyfriend from 5 years ago, it is awkward. He's now married and has a son.
Between the pub's finances and Sunday's dad's declining health, it quickly becomes apparent that help is needed and Sunday and her siblings, along with Kale, work together to solve the problems plaguing the pub. ( )
A well-written tale about a close-knit Irish-American family and the exponential problems birthed by the secrets they keep. Well-fleshed out characters. Smooth prose. ( )

The grinding noise and vibration of the rumble strips under her passenger-side tires snapped Sunday to attention.

You got to give trust to get it...
Shame and guilt are like plagues. And we Irish wield them like weapons and wear them like medals.
Family didn't mean hiding the hard stuff from each other, it meant facing it together. Â And it meant forgiving each other.

There would be a plan and, whatever happened, they would figure it out. Together.
