Four strangers. One week on the Maine coast. And a facilitator whose own twenty-year marriage ended three months ago - a fact she has told absolutely nobody.Greta Halloran has run the Marrow Cove retreat for eleven years, in her mother’s shingled house at the end of nine miles of very bad road. Seven days, four guests, no promises. A woodstove, a cook who is better than she needs to be, and a one-room cabin down by the water where each woman spends a single night alone with nothing to look at.This June, for the first time, Greta is the one who arrives broken.Priya is a cardiac nurse who argues with her ex-husband at seventy miles an hour with the windows up - and who is terrified of what she felt in the ninety seconds after he said he was leaving. Dell is sixty-three, fourteen months widowed, and secretly, shamefully hungry for a life she never got to choose. Tamsin called off her wedding eleven days before it, over something so small she cannot say it out loud. And Birdie’s husband has done nothing wrong at all, which is precisely the problem.By Wednesday they are laughing on a beach. By Friday the power is out, the wind is at fifty, and four women who have learned all week to notice things are looking straight at the one person who taught them how.What’s inside:- Seven days, four braided storylines, and one secret that will not stay put- Sharp, funny dialogue and four women you will argue about with your book club- Grief, divorce and long marriages handled honestly and without easy answers- Fog, low tide, blueberry barrens, a lobster bake and an accordion- Discussion questions for reading groups included
