Summary
The author of The Dive from Clausen's Pier chronicles the long-time friendship between Liz and Sarabeth, a relationship that is forged in childhood and is sustained through the decades that follow, until both women are forced to reexamine their lives in the wake of a devastating crisis. (General Fiction)
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Ann Packerâs debut novel, The Dive from Clausenâs Pier, was a nationwide bestseller that established her as one of our most gifted chroniclers of the interior lives of women. Now, in her long-awaited second novel, she takes us on a journey into a lifelong friendship pushed to the breaking point.
Liz and Sarabeth were childhood neighbors in the suburbs of northern California, brought as close as sisters by the suicide of Sarabethâs mother when the girls were just sixteen. In the decades that followedâthrough Lizâs marriage and the birth of her children, through Sarabethâs attempts to make a happy life for herself despite the shadow cast by her motherâs actâtheir relationship remained a source of continuity and strength. But when Lizâs adolescent daughter enters dangerous waters that threaten to engulf the family, the fault lines in the womenâs friendship are revealed, and both Liz and Sarabeth are forced to reexamine their most deeply held beliefs about their connection. Songs Without Words is about the sometimes confining roles we take on in our closest relationships, about the familial myths that shape us both as children and as parents, and about the limitsâand the powerâof the friendships we create when we are young.
