Second Home (Clancy) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[A] florid, beach-ready debut…. While the Shaw characters can be disappointingly flat in a way that borders on cartoonish, Clancy’s affectionate descriptions of Wellfleet are transporting. This is sure to be a favorite with book clubs.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review) A riveting family saga…, Clancy's debut novel is a delight. With nostalgia as thick as the scent of coconut-scented sunscreen, The Second Home explores the consequences of emotional decisions and the strength needed to set things right.
Booklist


Clancy’s novel rests heavily on… a not-entirely-solid structure that raises questions of credibility…. While matters head toward not unexpected resolutions, the immersiveness of this holiday read remains hobbled by cool characters and an implausible plot.
Kirkus Reviews


[A] pitch-perfect summer novel with a scintillating combination of drama, heart and lovely prose that will stay with you long into autumn…. Masterfully plotted…, The Second Home is a riveting and dark family saga.
