The Second Home by Christina
Clancy refers to a Cape Cod house where the Gordon family spends every summer.
One summer changes their lives forever. Fast forward to 15 years later from the
life-altering summer, when sisters Ann and Poppy are trying to settle their
parents’ estate, including the second home.
The situation gets
complicated when their long-lost adopted brother Michael wants to keep the home
as that is where he lived his best life ever. Secrets from the disastrous
summer are revealed, and the challenge will be how each sibling deals with
them.
This is the debut novel for Christina Clancy who spent her
summers as a youth on Cape Cod in her grandparents’ house. Clancy taught
English at Beloit College for almost a decade. She has written short stories
and essays that have appeared in The
New York Times "Modern Love" column, The Washington Post, and The
Chicago Tribune. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin with her husband and has two
children. I enjoyed this novel and recommend it to other lovers of women’s
fiction.
