Ebook About "Delicious . . . richly riveting . . . The Vacationers offers all the delights of a fluffy, read-it-with-sunglasses-on-the-beach read, made substantial by the exceptional wit, insight, intelligence and talents of its author.”—People (four stars)An irresistible, deftly observed novel from the New York Times-bestselling author of Modern Lovers, about the secrets, joys, and jealousies that rise to the surface over the course of an American family’s two-week stay in Mallorca. For the Posts, a two-week trip to the Balearic island of Mallorca with their extended family and friends is a celebration: Franny and Jim are observing their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary, and their daughter, Sylvia, has graduated from high school. The sunlit island, its mountains and beaches, its tapas and tennis courts, also promise an escape from the tensions simmering at home in Manhattan. But all does not go according to plan: over the course of the vacation, secrets come to light, old and new humiliations are experienced, childhood rivalries resurface, and ancient wounds are exacerbated. This is a story of the sides of ourselves that we choose to show and those we try to conceal, of the ways we tear each other down and build each other up again, and the bonds that ultimately hold us together. With wry humor and tremendous heart, Emma Straub delivers a richly satisfying story of a family in the midst of a maelstrom of change, emerging irrevocably altered yet whole.Book The Vacationers: A Novel Review :
I purchased this book because the playful cover was so pretty with beautiful turquoise water, the title too lured me with a promise of being whisked away to somewhere warm and lovely, it had buckets of glowing reviews, and the first few words on the description were compliments of “delicious” and “richly riveting.” I should have read on. It was an impulse purchase.Emma Straub is an excellent writer, and while I really hate throwing shade on her creative work, I need to give my real opinion. I didn’t enjoy the read. It was a downer. I didn’t want to go on vacation with unlikeable characters who were all depressed. And it wasn’t funny. About halfway through, I longed for something significant to happen, but it just never came.As a metaphor for the entire experience, I give you a line from the book: “There was little noise except chewing and clinking of forks and knives.”I was bored.Spoiler alert for the rest and questions for those of you who have read it: Why was Jim fired from his job of 30 years for having an affair with an adult, consenting female? There was no sexual harassment on Jim’s part. The advances began with the woman, but we never learned her fate! Was she fired too? I get that office relationships are often not tolerated, but it seemed a harsh sentence for Jim. And poor Carmen was just dumped on by the entire family. None of them gave a crap about her. Franny was needy and in a deeply weird relationship with Charles. On the super persnickety side, there was one stupid thing that bugged me when Franny purchased anchovies at the store (the author listed the purchases) but then Franny came home and opened capers. She didn’t buy capers! They are not the same as anchovies.The point of view and head-hopping between paragraphs was jarring at times, but for whatever reason, Emma Straub chose to do it. Like I said, she’s definitely a good writer, but for me, the story was not interesting.Sorry. This is one of the worst, most boring novels I have ever read, even by the standards of breezy-beach-read-without-much-literary-value (which was the exact genre I sought with this purchase). The novel centers on a family of dull people with insipid thoughts. Not one of the characters is likable. The plot points are not even interesting. Will the wife forgive the husband for his affair? Will the teenage daughter lose her virginity? Why does the adult son date a woman older than him? Each of these plot points are presented in the beginning and summarily resolved in the last chapter. In between, nothing happens. Just a hundred or so pages of uninteresting banter, descriptions of people's outfits and food, and careful following of the characters' movements around a shared vacation house. The ONLY interesting characters are the gay couple about to adopt a baby, but this plot is very much sidelined and the characters exit before the end of the novel. It was the only story line worth caring about and we don't even get to see it to the end. I don't understand how this novel has received so much positive press, except to think Ms. Straub's publishing house put some extraordinary marketing power behind it. Not worth the money or time.
