'Warm, joyful, smart and nuanced' CURTIS SITTENFELD, author of Romantic Comedy This novel is a gift' J. COURTNEY SULLIVAN, author of The Cliffs It was too much to ask. But sometimes too much is what we ask of the people we love most. Radclyffe, New York, is an idyllic upstate town, nestled in the hills away from the city. Ruth, Caroline and Tobi are living the dream; Ruth has a wife she loves, sprawling land and wonderful children. Caroline, an ex-Manhattanite, is enjoying a slower pace, time to focus on her music. Tobi runs an Instagram-famous pottery business that is constantly expanding. But cracks are appearing beneath the surface. After an unexpected death rocks their community, these friends are forced to confront tensions that have long been buried and reveal the secrets they never shared. An exquisite portrait of friendship, love and loyalty, Like Family captures the joy and heartbreak of growing older and the richness and pain of knowing and being known.
