Hello friends:
I am reading this book, almost done, so so like the New England summer towns, like Hyannis, Oak Bluffs. Here are some more pictures of my last weekend in the Vineyard, I call this place "paradise"

| "Are we there yet" Advice: If you go to the Vineyard from Wood's hole expect to wait for a boat over 2 hours, because they fill on the weekends really fast. They have lots of parking lots to leave your car on the mainland if you don't want to pay to take your car to the island. A lot of people take their car, beacuse of the bikes,and beach gear. This is a great place to vacation every weekend, or stay for one or two weeks, and hop over to Nantucket. Lots of shops, antiques, flea market, great restaurants, biking trails,and of course the beach. |

Maine
“Like Elizabeth Strout’s conflicted junior high teacher, Olive Kitteridge, [the Kellehers] are appealing partly because of their oh-so-human shortcomings…I enjoyed every page of this ruthless and tender novel about the way love can sometimes redeem even the most contentious families. Like all first-rate comic fiction, Maine uses humor to examine the truths of the heart, in New England and far beyond.” –The Washington Post
“Sullivan beautifully channels Alice through her memories…The dialogue sizzles as the tension between the women’s love and anger toward one another tightens…You don’t want the novel to end.” –The New York Times Book Review
For the Kellehers, Maine is a place where children run in packs, showers are taken outdoors, and old Irish songs are sung around a piano at night. Their beachfront property, won on a barroom bet after the war, sits on three acres of sand and pine nestled between stretches of rocky coast, with one tree bearing the initials “A.H.” At the cottage, built by Kelleher hands, cocktail hour follows morning mass, nosy grandchildren snoop in drawers, and decades-old grudges simmer beneath the surface.
