About the author
Catherine Newman is an American novelist and essayist whose fiction and nonfiction attend closely to family routines, caregiving, friendship, illness, and the comedy created by people who know one another too well.
Her adult novels include We All Want Impossible Things and Sandwich. Both place a compact group of people in a limited span of time, then allow ordinary meals, jokes, and arguments to carry grief and generational change.
Where to start
Start with Sandwich for a week in a Cape Cod rental where three generations of one family confront ageing, parenthood, and a secret that changes their holiday.
