The Long, Hot Summer by Kathleen MacMahon releases today.
From Grand Central Publishing:
"Determined to be different from other people, they have carved out a place for themselves in Irish life by the sheer force of their personalities.
There's Deirdre, the aged matriarch and former star of the stage. Her estranged writer husband Manus now lives with a younger man. Their daughter Alma is an unapologetically ambitious television presenter, while Acushla plays the part of the perfect political wife. And there's Macdara, the fragile and gentle soul of the family. Together, the MacEntees present a glamorous face to the world. But when a series of misfortunes befall them over the course of one long, hot summer, even the MacEntees will struggle to make sense of who they are.
From Kathleen MacMahon, the #1 bestselling author of This is How it Ends, comes this powerful and poignant novel, capturing a moment in the life of one family." Read an excerpt of The Long, Hot Summer.
