Maine is the second bestseller from J. Courtney Sullivan whose first novel, Commencement, topped bestseller lists coast to coast. With unwavering attention to the details of her character and a narrative that brings Maine alive, Sullivan has created a novel to savor long after the sun has set on summer. The story centers on four unforgettable women who, like it or not, are family. Their Maine summer cottage is a place where cocktails at sunset, the magical ocean air, and three generations of women spend what they always anticipate will be their perfect vacation. Except, as is true in real life, four strong-willed women - even with the best intentions and the strongest cocktails - can turn order into chaos and reveal secrets best left hidden. Sullivan’s work has appeared in The New York Times, Elle, Glamour, New York magazine and elsewhere. She lives in Brooklyn.
