Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the bestselling author of WE ALL WANT IMPOSSIBLE THINGS (Richard & Judy Book Club 2023)
"Oh, honey," I say. "I'm sorry. Don't worry about me! I'm totally good. I'm so, so happy to be here with you."
This is how it is to love somebody. You tell them the truth. You lie a little. And sometimes you don't say anything at all..."
For the past two decades, Rocky has looked forward to her family’s yearly escape to Cape Cod. Their rustic beach-town rental has been the site of sweet memories, its quirky furniture and mismatched pots and pans greeted like old friends.
Now, sandwiched between her children who are adult enough to be fun but still young enough to need her, and her parents who are alive and healthy, Rocky wants to preserve this golden moment forever. This one precious week when everything is in balance; everything is in flux.
But every family has its secrets and hers is no exception. With her body in open revolt and surprises invading her peaceful haven, the perfectly balanced seesaw of Rocky’s life is tipping towards change…
Critic Reviews
'Sandwich is joy in book form. I laughed continuously, except for the parts that made me cry. Catherine Newman does a miraculous job reminding us of all the wonder there is to be found in life.' ANN PATCHETT, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake

Good insights into family relationships
I liked this book for its exploration of the changing nature of parent/child and long term partner relationships and menopause. However I found the observations about menopause overly bleak but that may be because I’ve come out the other side of it. It was also a bit too sentimental for me but I think die hard Ann Patchett fans will love it.

A must listen for all menopausal women out there
Loved this book. Laughed and Cried.
The story is witty and so so true, in so so many ways, I feel I could have been the author (if I could write!) - heartwarming and recommended
