THE ALTERNATIVES - CAOILINN HUGHES GEBUNDEN

The Flattery sisters  four brilliant and very different girls raised in a small town south of
Dublin  were plunged prematurely into adulthood when their parents died in a tragic accident.
Now  in their thirties--each unmarried  each holding a PhD--they are striving to make an impact
on an increasingly volatile world. The four lead disparate  distanced lives  from classrooms in
Connecticut to fancy catering gigs in London's Notting Hill  until one day their oldest sister
a geologist haunted by a terrible awareness of the earth's future  abruptly vanishes from her
home. Together for the first time in years  the Flatterys descend on the Irish countryside in
search of a sister who doesn't actually want to be found. Sheltered in a derelict rural
bungalow  coaxed along by the colorful denizens of a local pub  they reach into their common
past  confronting both old wounds and a desperately uncertain future.--
