Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog. I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!
Goodreads: The Faraday Girls by Monica McInerney
Blurb: As a child, Maggie Faraday grew up in a lively, unconventional household with her young mother, four very different aunts and her eccentric grandfather. With her mother often away, her aunts took turns to look after her - until, just weeks before Maggie's sixth birthday, a shocking event changed everything.
Twenty years on, Maggie is living alone in New York City when a surprise visit from her grandfather brings a revelation and a proposition to reunite the family. As the Faradays gather in Ireland, Maggie begins to realize that the women she thought she knew so intimately all have something to hide .
Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: This book has been sitting on my shelf gathering dust for years. I've been really loving family secret type stories lately and this feels like a book I'm in the mood for right now!
This one is new to me but it sounds like it would be a great read. There is just something I can't resist about a book filled with family secrets.
