brilliant 4.50

The reviewer absolutely loves 'Sandwich' by Catherine Newman, finding it a delightful and funny summer read with deep emotional layers. The story of a family vacation is both charming and heart-wrenching, with the protagonist's struggles with menopause and past grief adding depth to the narrative.

The reviewer can't stop raving about 'Sandwich' by Catherine Newman, which they describe as a perfect summer read. The novel follows a family on a beach vacation, narrated by the lovably flawed mother Rachel. The reviewer appreciates the humor and wit in the interactions between Rachel and her adult children, as well as the relatable moments of family life. However, beneath the surface, the book delves into heavier themes of grief, past trauma, and the challenges of menopause. The reviewer finds Newman's writing to be both beautiful and nuanced, making the book a deeply moving and enjoyable read. They particularly appreciate how Newman balances joy and sorrow, making the story both laugh-out-loud funny and heart-wrenchingly sad.

Quick quotes

    I couldn’t love it more, can’t stop talking about it, can’t stop texting full paragraphs to my friends saying, “Right!!???

    It’s so crushingly beautiful, being human

    It’s all so head-noddingly charming that you almost don’t notice how heavy — or maybe Newman would say “full” — your heart becomes while holding Rocky’s sadness.
