The Sins of the Mother: A Novel
Olivia spends months each year planning a luxurious vacation to make up for the time she lost with her family, and this summer she’s arranged a dream trip on a Mediterranean yacht, hoping it will be the most memorable of all. Her yearly lavish gesture expresses her love for her family and her regret over missing important moments during her children’s younger years. However, her younger daughter, Cassie, a London music producer, declines the invitation as she always does, while her older daughter, Liz, struggles under the shadow of her mother’s expectations as she tries to revive her writing career. Her sons, John and Phillip, work for Olivia, though neither of their wives are happy about it. Set against the stunning Riviera, the summer promises to be unforgettable, but as with any family gathering, surprises abound, and things don’t always go as planned. As old disappointments surface and forgiveness and revelations emerge, new connections are formed, and Olivia’s children begin to repeat the same “sins” they once blamed their mother for. *The Sins of the Mother* explores the complexities of family love—challenging, humorous, passionate, and enduring—and follows Olivia, a mother who takes more than her share of blame, respects her children for who they are, and loves them unconditionally.
