The Faraday Girls: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle)

â€œCrossing the globe, from Australia to Manhattan to Dublin, McInerneyâ€™s bewitching multigenerational saga lavishly and lovingly explores the resiliency and fragility of family bonds.â€â€“Booklist

"Vivid characterizations and sharply honed dialogue . . . McInerney brings humor and insight to issues of sibling rivalry, family secrecy, and romantic betrayal."--The Boston Globe, on The Alphabet Sisters

"A book to treasure . . . clever, amusing, and heart-warmingly touching."--Woman's Day (Australia), on Family Baggage

From internationally bestselling author Monica McInerney comes a captivating and charming new novel of family secrets, the loyalty of sisters, and the power of redemption.

As a child, Maggie Faraday grew up in a lively, unconventional household with her young mother, four very different aunts, and eccentric grandfather. With her mother often away, her aunts took turns looking after herâ€“until, just weeks before Maggieâ€™s sixth birthday, a shocking event changed everything.

Twenty years later, Maggie is living alone in New York City when she receives a surprise visit from her grandfather Leo, who brings a revelation and a proposition: Heâ€™s preparing a special gift for his daughters and needs Maggieâ€™s help. When the Faradays gather from all parts of the world to celebrate Christmas in Julyâ€“a longstanding traditionâ€“Maggie uncovers unexpected family history and learns that the women she thought she knew so intimately all have something to hide.

Written in McInerneyâ€™s trademark warm, heartfelt prose, The Faraday Girls is a sweeping and affecting family saga.
