Saints for All Occasions: a Novel by J. Courtney Sullivan
Submitted by Terri S.
I love reading a book and being so taken by it that I’m compelled to read everything else the author has written. Such is the case with this author, this book. The story is that of a big sprawling Irish family set in Boston’s Southie neighborhoods. The characters are flawed, loveable and real; the story a testament to the strength of family and the bonds of friendship. When I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about it! A great summer read, and another title SURE to be on many “best of” lists for 2017. For fans of Curtis Sittenfeld, Richard Russo and Julia Glass.
