The Vacationers by Emma Straub
From the author of Laura Lamont's Life in Pictures (2012), comes The Vacationers, an irresistible novel that captures the secrets, joys and jealousies that arise during a family vacation to the Spanish Island of Mallorca.

Traveling to Spain with family and friends to celebrate their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary and their daughter's high school graduation sounds like a grand idea to Franny and Jim Post, however, all doesn't go according to plan, especially as the vacationers arrive on the island bearing secrets that cannot possibly be contained.

The Vacationers received a starred review from Booklist: "Straub masters a constantly changing flow of perspectives as readers wonder who will forgive and be forgiven in this sun-soaked, remote paradise. Spongy and dear, sharply observed and funny, Straub's domestic-drama-goes-abroad is a delightful study of the complexities of family and love, and the many distractions from both."
