If you love Maine, you'll love this book. But, in addition to the scenery, it deals with 3 generations of women -- the matriarch, her daughter and daughter-in-law, and her granddaughter. It gives realistic characterizations of these women and the dialog is spot on. Yes, the women appear guilt ridden and scheming and probably should not talk so much, but their flaws are believable, and the interactions between them are funny. There certainly are generational divides. Good read!
Sorry; hit post before I added commentary.
