Una historia conmovedora y divertida sobre unas vacaciones de verano familiares repletas de secretos, comidas y recuerdos.Durante las últimas dos décadas, Rocky siempre ha esperado con ansias la escapada anual familiar a Cabo Cod. Su humilde casa de alquiler ha sido testigo de preciados recuerdos, dias soleados, comidas memorables y todo tipo de desastres: emocionales, maritales y, gracias a las tuberias antiguas de la casa, tambien septicos.Este año Rocky se encuentra atrapada entre sus hijos y sus padres, cada vez mas ancianos. Estas vacaciones prometen ser tan maravillosas como las anteriores, excepto, tal vez, por las fluctuantes crisis hormonales de rabia y melancolia que atraviesa Rocky (¡hola, menopausia!). Su cuerpo esta cambiando y tambien su vida. Entonces, una sucesion de acontecimientos envia a Rocky al pasado para revivir la ternura y el dolor de los veranos anteriores.Es una semana inolvidable, y todo parece estar en armonia. Pero cuando Rocky se encuentra cara a cara con el pasado y el futuro de su familia, se ve obligada a aceptar que no puede seguir escondiendo sus secretos a las personas que quiere.Sandwich es felicidad en formato de libro. Me he reido sin parar, excepto en las partes que me han hecho llorar. Catherine Newman hace un trabajo increible recordandonos todas las maravillas que puede ofrecernos la vida. -Ann Patchett, autora best seller del New York Times de Tom LakeEste libro pide a gritos terminar con arena entre sus paginas. Un precioso testamento sobre como pueden repercutir las decisiones a lo largo de las decadas y determinar el futuro. -People
