The News from the End of the World
The News from the End of the World | Emily Jeanne Miller
8 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Meet the lovable but dysfunctional Lake family over the four days that will make or break them When Vance Lakebroke, jobless, and recently dumpedtakes refuge with twin brother Craig back home on Cape Cod, he unwittingly finds himself smack in the middle of a crisis that would test the bonds of even the most cohesive family, let alone the Lakes. Craig is strangely mournful and angry at equal turns. His exasperated wife, Gina, is on the brink of an affair. At the center of it all is seventeen-year-old Amanda: adored niece, rebellious daughter, and stubborn stepdaughter. Shes also pregnant. Told in alternating points of view by each member of this colorful New England clan, and infused with the quiet charm of the Cape in the off-season, The News from the End of the World follows one family into a crucible of pent-up resentments, old and new secrets, and memories long buried. Only by coming to terms with their pasts, both separately and together, do they stand a chance of emerging intact.

Big decision: what do I read next? I've narrowed it down to these three.

Back at the University's Library where I received my Masters in Education, now 10 yrs ago.My son needs a book for a class that is here. So got an alumni library card📚. Nice & quiet; about 30 minute drive. He is lost in stacks so I will read & enjoy coffee. #Libraries #MrBook #LitsyLibraries. Bonus: coffee bookmark at the desk. 📚☕️

slategreyskies I love that bookmark! Enjoy your quiet time. :) 7y
kspenmoll @slategreyskies It was just what I needed; felt replenished😍 7y

To all the Littens who so kindly sent me love, prayers, warm wishes this past week: my son is home, still on precipice but getting support he needs; the wake & funeral of my former student whose mother & friend I work with was this weekend-heart wrenchingly beautiful. HS has been grieving all week. Appreciate all your kindness.❤

my new book from the library to read myself to sleep. Set on the Cape, my favorite place. 🏖☀️🐚

Family drama, set in Cape Cod- a fast and entertaining read that ends a bit abruptly but with interesting characters. Any book with identical twins always grabs my attention!

Sage and I are both enjoying a break from the toddler this afternoon. 😀 #readingcompanion #photoadaynov16

rachel_mbc Sage is the more patient of our cats. Sydney doesn't need a break from the toddler because she just lives in our room while he's awake. 😂 7y
