Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan
This is a great novel about four women from an Boston Irish Catholic family and their relation to the family's summer home in Maine. Alice, the matriarch, Kathleen, the daughter, Ann Marie, the daughter-in-law, and Maggie, the granddaughter are the four protagonists. Each has a story to tell in alternating chapters and ethnicity, tribalism and religious identity have strong influences on all of their lives. This book has lots of local color and reminded me of the novels of Alice McDermott.
