We Are the Brennans

A Novel

By: Tracey Lange

Narrated by: Barrie Kreinik

Instant New York Times best seller

In the vein of Mary Beth Keane’s Ask Again, Yes and Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's The Nest, Tracey Lange’s We Are the Brennans explores the staying power of shame—and the redemptive power of love—in an Irish Catholic family torn apart by secrets.

When 29-year-old Sunday Brennan wakes up in a Los Angeles hospital, bruised and battered after a drunk driving accident she caused, she swallows her pride and goes home to her family in New York. But it’s not easy. She deserted them all—and her high school sweetheart—five years before with little explanation, and they've got questions.

Sunday is determined to rebuild her life back on the east coast, even if it does mean tiptoeing around resentful brothers and an ex-fiancé. The longer she stays, however, the more she realizes they need her just as much as she needs them. When a dangerous man from her past brings her family’s pub business to the brink of financial ruin, the only way to protect them is to upend all their secrets—secrets that have damaged the family for generations and will threaten everything they know about their lives. In the aftermath, the Brennan family is forced to confront painful mistakes—and ultimately find a way forward, together.

"Reading this novel is like getting a view through a lighted window on a family sitting around a table after dark. Who are they? What are they talking about? All families have their own story and the ways they tell it to themselves, and untangling the many strands of this one was deep and richly satisfying. Once I started, I couldn't stop. I read it in one long delicious slide." (Sarah Blake, New York Times best-selling author of The Guest Book)

Enjoyed it

I enjoyed this book! Being half Irish heritage it resonated with me . I also live in a suburb of NYC so many things were familiar. The book flowed well , characters were well developed - I recommend this book

Met the Brendan’s

Yes I met them, but just when the story was really starting the book ended. I’m hoping this is one book of many as I want to know what happens next

Sunshine

I loved this book!! Looking for another by this author.
Just the right amount of everything.

Kind of predictable

Every clue that was dropped was exactly what you guessed it would be. Easy read but highly
predictable.

Sumnary

A nice family read with a few twist and turns, some predictable, sone not so much.
