Rreth këtij libri elektronik
A classics professor hopes a Greek vacation will repair her crumbling family in this “hilarious and pitch-perfect” novel (Southern Living).
The Wright family is in ruins. Sue Ellen Wright has what she thinks is a close-to-perfect life. A terrific career as a classics professor, a loving husband, and a son who is just about to safely leave the nest.
But then disaster strikes. She learns that her husband is cheating, and that her son has made a complete mess of his life. So, when the opportunity to take her family to a Greek island for a month presents itself, she jumps at the chance. Perhaps this sunlit Aegean paradise, with its mountains and beaches, will provide the key to her and her family’s salvation. With biting wit, deep emotion, and brilliant characters, Ginder’s Honestly, We Meant Well is a poignant story of a mother who won’t let her family story be a tragedy.
