An Oprah Magazine Editors' Pick and Publishers Weekly Best of the Season
Itโs the summer of 1982 in Blacksburg, Virginiaโseven years after the suspicious death of a son and siblingโand the Sobel family is hungry.ย
Francie dresses in tennis skirts and ankle socks and weighs her grams of allotted carrots and iceberg lettuce. Her semi-estranged husband Tate prefers a packed fridge and hidden doughnuts. Daughters Enid, ten, and Vivvy, almost thirteen, are subtler versions of their parents, measuring their summer vacation by meals had or meals skipped. But at summerโs end, secrets both old and new emerge and Francie disappears, leaving the family teetering on the brink.ย
Told from alternating points of view by the four living Sobels,ย Pretend We Are Lovelyย is a sharp and darkly funny story of forgiveness, family secrets, and the losses we inherit. At its core is the ever-complicated and deeply-devoted bond of sisterhoodย as the girls, left mostly to their own devices, must navigate their way through middle school, find comfort in each other, and learn the difference between food and nourishment.
