A gorgeous, jewel of a novel about a mother caring for her two sons while everything else - her marriage and the fishing industry her New England community relies on - threatens to crumble around her After a fishing accident leaves her husband hospitalized across the border in Canada, Jill is left to look after her two teenage boys - "the wolves" - alone. Nothing comes easy in their remote corner of Maine: money is tight, her son Sam is getting into more trouble by the day, and Jill begins to suspect her marriage isn't as stable as she once believed. As one disaster gives way to the next, she begins to think that it's not enough to be a caring wife and mother anymore - not enough to show up when needed, nudge her boys in the right direction, believe everything will be okay. But how to protect this life she loves, this household, this family?With remarkable poise and startling beauty, 'LANDSLIDE' ushers us into a modern household where, for a family at odds, Instagram posts, sex-positivity talks, and old fishing tales mingle to become a kind of love language. It is a stunning portrait of a family, as compelling as it is moving, and raises the question of how to remain devoted when the eye of the storm closes in.Running Time => 7hrs. and 30mins.©2021 Susan Conley (P)2021 Random House Audio
