Sandwich captures the messy, tender, hilarious reality of being caught between generations—caring for aging parents while raising almost-grown children—all during one unforgettable week at Cape Cod.
Rocky has spent twenty years returning to the same humble beach cottage with her family, where the plumbing is ancient and the memories are golden. But this summer is different. Menopause has arrived with its rage and melancholy. Her children are slipping toward adulthood. Her parents are growing older. And Rocky is hiding secrets she can no longer keep buried.
Newman, author of the beloved We All Want Impossible Things, has crafted something extraordinary here: a novel that’s both deeply funny and achingly poignant. Ann Patchett calls it “joy in book form,” praising how it reminds us “of all the wonder there is to be found in life.” Elin Hilderbrand declares it “just perfect,” while readers everywhere are discovering what makes this story so special—its honest portrayal of family life, its celebration of ordinary moments, and its recognition that love means learning to let go.
Perfect for fans of literary fiction that feels like a warm conversation with a dear friend, Sandwich is a story about the beautiful, complicated work of holding a family together while everything shifts beneath your feet.
