Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK Named One of the Best Beach Reads of the Year by Parade, O: The Oprah Magazine, and Good Housekeeping NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ESQUIRE When seventy-year-old Charlotte Perkins submits a sexy essay to the Become a Jetsetter contest, she dreams of reuniting her estranged children: Lee, an almostfamous actress; Cord, a handsome Manhattan venture capitalist who can't seem to find a partner; and Regan, a harried mother who took it all wrong when Charlotte bought her a Weight Watchers gift certificate for her birthday. Charlotte yearns for the years when her children were young, when she was a single mother who meant everything to them. When she wins the contest, the family packs their baggage—both literal and figurative—and spends ten days traveling from sun-drenched Athens through glorious Rome to tapas-laden Barcelona on an over-the-top cruise ship, the Splendido Marveloso. As lovers new and old join the adventure, long-buried secrets are revealed and old wounds are reopened, forcing the Perkins family to confront the forces that drove them apart and the defining choices of their lives. Can four lost adults find the peace they've been seeking by reconciling their childhood aches and coming back together? In the vein of The Nest and The Vacationers, The Jetsetters is a delicious and intelligent novel about the courage ittakes to reveal our true selves, the pleasures and perils of family, and how we navigate the seas of adulthood. "The exuberant activity aboard the Splendido Marveloso is no match for the fireworks set off as the lies explode. Full of wicked humor and delicious destination details."—People (Book of the Week)

- content: Narrator Therese Plummer masterfully expresses the poignancy in this audiobook about a well-intentioned widowed mother who invites her three unsettled adult children on a European cruise. Plummer's gift for characterization is evident in her nuanced portrayals of Charlotte and her children, Lee, Cord, and Regan. She enables listeners to empathize with the characters as old wounds resurface and they struggle to resolve their difficulties and reconnect with each other. Particularly impressive are Plummer's unique and authentic-sounding male voices, including lightly accented ones for cruise ship staff. A host of complex issues, including marital discord, infidelity, abuse, and addiction, are illuminated under Plummer's care. Her lively evocation of life aboard a cruise ship will leave listeners longing for the smell of sea air. M.J. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
