A year after the death of her husband, Emily Maxwell gathers her family at Lake Chautauqua for what will be a last holiday at their summer cottage. Joining her is her sister-in-law Arlene, silently mourning both the loss of the lake house and a bygone love affair. Emily's firebrand daughter Meg, a recovering alcoholic recently separated from her husband, brings her children from Detroit. Emily's son Ken, who has quit his job and mortgaged his future to pursue his art, comes accompanied by his children and his wife, who is secretly heartened to be visiting the house for the last time. Memories of past summers resurface, old rivalries flare up and love is rekindled and born anew, resulting in a timeless novel that 'succeeds beautifully [and] showcases some of the finest character studies a contemporary reader could ask for' (Boston Globe).

Wish You Were Here by Stewart O'Nan is a big, long, slow read--not one that you are are anxiously turning pages to see what happens next, but rather one to enjoy as you let the characters sink in as you come to know them.
The novel tells the story of the summer after Henry Maxwell's death. Three generations of his family come to spend one last week in their cabin in Upper New York before it is sold. During this time memories and wounds are remembered and revealed. Wonderful characterizations!
