Sometimes all you can do is flyaway homeâ?¦When Sylvie Serfer met Richard Woodruff in law school, she had wild curls, wide hips, and lots of opinions. Decades later, Sylvie has remade herself as the ideal politician's wife-her hair dyed and straightened, her hippie-chick wardrobe replaced by tailored knit suits. At fifty-seven, she ruefully acknowledges that her job is staying twenty pounds thinner than she was in her twenties and tending to her husband, the senator. Lizzie, the Woodruffs' younger daughter, is at twenty-four a recovering addict, whose mantra HALT (Hungry? Angry? Lonely? Tired?) helps her keep her life under control. Still, trouble always seems to find her. Her older sister, Diana, an emergency room physician, has everything Lizzie failed to achieve-a husband, a young son, the perfect home-and yet she's trapped in a loveless marriage. With temptation waiting in one of the ER's exam rooms, she finds herself craving more. After Richard's extramarital affair makes headlines, the three women are drawn into the painful glare of the national spotlight. Once the press conference is over, each is forced to reconsider her life, who she is and who she is meant to be. Written with an irresistible blend of heartbreak and hilarity, Fly Away Home is an unforgettable story of a mother and two daughters who after a lifetime of distance finally learn to find refuge in one anoth… (altro)

Story of mom and three daughters who thru their troubles find each other again and become better people. OK book.
  bentstoker | Jan 26, 2024 |
Not good. I strongly disliked every character in the novel. I thought the plot was weak and that there were too many redundant passages. I usually like Jennifer Weiner but her last two novels were pretty bad. I think she's funny in real life but she's trying way too hard in the books. ( )

I skimmed a lot of the description. The characters and their situations didn't grab me as much as her previous books.

Weiner's trademark blend of wit and sensitivity distinguishes this timely tale about a family in crisis.
