Publisher's summary

In A Week at the Shore, New York Times best-selling 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 20 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 13-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.

Anti-climatic

It started out very well. I liked the mystery of Elizabeth's disappearance. I guess I thought this book was more of a mystery. It turned out very anti-climatic and was more of a storybook ending.

Excellent Audio

The reader has a captivating quality and holds your interest. The story was good with twists and turns, but the ending a bit abrupt and flat.

Great narrator!

The story was good the narrator is great! There were a few side stories in the book that went down the wrong path but overall it was a good easy reading summer novel. Therese Plummer could read the phone book and it would be great. The best Barry out there.
