Book Description:
“From internationally bestselling author Monica McInerney comes a captivating and charming new novel of family secrets, the loyalty of sisters, and the power of redemption.
As a child, Maggie Faraday grew up in a lively, unconventional household with her young mother, four very different aunts, and eccentric grandfather. With her mother often away, her aunts took turns looking after her– -- until, just weeks before Maggie’s sixth birthday, a shocking event changed everything.
Twenty years later, Maggie is living alone in New York City when she receives a surprise visit from her grandfather Leo, who brings a revelation and a proposition: He'’s preparing a special gift for his daughters and needs Maggie’'s help. When the Faradays gather from all parts of the world to celebrate Christmas in July– -- a longstanding tradition -- –Maggie uncovers unexpected family history and learns that the women she thought she knew so intimately all have something to hide.
Written in McInerney'’s trademark warm, heartfelt prose, The Faraday Girls is a sweeping and affecting family saga.

I really enjoyed The Faraday Girls. It was current, well written and a good story. The interaction between the sisters, father and niece was very believable - every family deals with issues. I might have changed one aspect of the ending for my own liking - but the author wrapped up all the parts of the story nicely. I now have all Monica McInerney's earlier books on my Wish List - a sure sign of how much I liked this book.

This an excellent, well-written novel about family developing, growing and the secrets they keep. I thoroughly enjoyed this book - while it was over 500 pages I never tired of it. The characters were well developed and the storyline flowed. I recommend this book. Carol

I really loved this book and am looking forward to reading more by this author. This was the first book of hers that I've read. It was very interesting to read the family dynamics of the sister, father and niece and where each of their lifes take them. I couldn't put it down and looked forward to reading it every evening!

Light, easy read. Nothing terribly memorable about this book, but a nice beach/vacation read.
I have read almost all of this author's books. I really like her themes. This book is one about sisters. It's a book that shows that even though you have known someone for all of your life you don't necessarily know everything about them. Also if your a fan of Maeve Binchy this is an author whose books you will probably like.
