The Sweeney Sisters: A Novel by Lian Dolan.William Morrow, 2020. Adult FictionI enjoyed every moment of this look into the lives of the Sweeney sisters: Liza, the oldest "good girl" who marries a local guy; Mad Maggie, the wild child who is a talented artist; and Tricia, a high powered lawyer. Their mother died of cancer fifteen years before the story begins. Their father is the famous writer Bill Sweeney. When Bill dies suddenly, the girls come together for a wake in the true Irish sense and at their longtime home. They soon learn the beautiful journalist, Serena Tucker, is their half sister. Serena's mother and their neighbor in childhood, knew Bill Sweeney a little too well. The adults kept the secret all those years. DNA testing plays a big role in the discovery.
The Sweeney sisters are fun, smart, and must now find ways to make a new family. It's encouraging and realistic and hopeful, too.
