Books from the Backlog - The Faraday Girls


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!

  1. 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.

  4. I'm definitely going to think about adding this to my 1,492 mile long reading list. It has some of my favorite things...relationships between women, family, secrets/drama, NYC & Ireland.
