Acerca de esta escucha
The Last Thing He Told Me meets Fleishman Is in Trouble in this engrossing story of a couple who flee winter in the Midwest for Palm Springs, where they find their relationship at a crossroads.
Kim and Grant are at a turning point. A couple for thirty years, their "separate but together" partnership is running up against the realities of late middle age: Grant’s mother has died, the college where he taught philosophy was shuttered, and their twin girls are grown and gone. Escaping the bitter cold of a Midwestern winter for the hot desert sun of Palm Springs seems as good a solution as any to the more intractable problems they face.
When they arrive at Le Desert, a quirky condo community where everyone knows everyone’s business, Kim immediately embraces the opportunity to make new friends and explore a more adventurous side of her personality. Meanwhile, Grant struggles to find his footing in this unfamiliar landscape, leaving Kim to wonder if their relationship can survive the snowbird season. But when Grant goes missing on a hike in the Palm Springs mountains, Kim is forced to consider two terrifying outcomes: either Grant is truly lost, or this time, he’s really left her.
Is it ever too late to become the person we wanted to be—and is there still time to change into someone better? The exhilarating, but often confusing transitions of midlife are pitched against the promise and glamour of Palm Springs in this tender, honest story of what it takes to commit to someone for a lifetime. With compassion and humor, Clancy explores the redemptive power of finding ourselves, and of being found.

Historia
Gail Baines is having a bad day. To start, she loses her job—or quits, depending on whom you ask. Tomorrow her daughter, Debbie, is getting married, and she hasn’t even been invited to the spa day organized by the mother of the groom. Then, Gail’s ex-husband, Max, arrives unannounced on her doorstep, carrying a cat, without a place to stay, and without even a suit. But the true crisis lands when Debbie shares with her parents a secret she has just learned about her husband to be. It will not only throw the wedding into question but also stir up Gail and Max’s past.

For fifty years, Abe and Jane have been coming to Central Park, as starry-eyed young lovers, as frustrated and exhausted parents, as artists watching their careers take flight. They came alone when they needed to get away from each other, and together when they had something important to discuss. The Park has been their witness for half a century of love. Until now. Jane is dying, and Abe is recounting their life together as a way of keeping them going: the parts they knew.

Charlie asks Garrett, his best friend from college, to officiate, though Cece can’t imagine anyone less appropriate for the task; Garrett doesn’t believe in love, much less marriage.

When ten-year-old Ebby Freeman heard the gunshot, time stopped. And when she saw her brother, Baz, lying on the floor surrounded by the shattered pieces of a centuries-old jar, life as Ebby knew it shattered as well. The crime was never solved—and because the Freemans were one of the only Black families in a particularly well-to-do enclave of New England—the case has had an enduring, voyeuristic pull for the public. The last thing the Freemans want is another media frenzy splashing their family across the papers, but when Ebby's high profile romance falls apart, that's exactly what they get.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Studded with witty banter and the sparkling glamour of Palm Springs, The Snowbirds is great fun, but what Clancy really gives us is a portrait of a marriage with psychological depth and pathos and characters we can’t help but fall in love with. Stunning."—Rufi Thorpe, author of Margo's Got Money Troubles
"The Snowbirds is a beautifully written and propulsive novel, at once a page-turning mystery of a missing man and a moving portrait of a long-term relationship going through a midlife crisis. With humor, honesty, and keen insight, Clancy explores the struggles and joys of reexamining a 30-year relationship and remaking your life in a new community. I couldn't put it down."—Angie Kim, New York Times bestselling author of Happiness Falls
"The Snowbirds is an insightful, propulsive exploration of modern marriage in middle age, equal parts sharp-eyed and heartwarming. Is it possible to commit to a relationship without losing your identity? What epiphanies might we have while getting lost? Christina Clancy's novel ponders these questions and more with humor and warmth. Set against the vivid, zany backdrop of Palm Springs and its Hollywood history, populated by a delightful cast of locals and transplants, The Snowbirds asks whether it's ever too late to find your partner—and yourself."—Chloe Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

Historia
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Historia
When I was a little girl, I dreamed a handsome knight would come and rescue me from my wretched mother. He'd ride up on his white steed and break the curse I've been fated to carry since the day I was born. Funny how things changed over time, how the fairytale twisted into something far more crooked—and darker—than I ever imagined. In reality, my knight is scarred and broken, living alone in a castle of bones that overlooks the sea. He isn’t searching for me. He never was.

Charlie and Vivian parted ways after just four years of marriage. Too many problems, too many struggles, even though the love didn't quite die. When Charlie returns to Wisconsin forty years later, he's not sure what he'll find. He is sure of one thing—he must try to reconnect with Vivian to pick up the broken pieces of their past. But forty years is a long time. It's forty years of other relationships, forty years of building new lives, and forty years of long-held regrets, mistakes, and painful secrets.

It is supposed to be a dream. James and I have been trying for years. But now it is starting to feel like a nightmare. Doctors don't ask questions, or care about how you're feeling. They just tell you what to do. They never listen. Mam and James don't understand either. James thinks I'm being anxious and Mam says it'll pass. It always does. That's what she did when Dad died. I've never felt more alone. Or scared. Then I joined an online group for mothers. A sisterhood, really. They might be on a screen, but sometimes it feels like they know me better than James.

When Jamie’s actions at a protest spiral out of control, the siblings must go on the run.

Taking over her parents’ estate-sale business is not the life’s work that Emma Lewis bargained for. Yes, she grew up helping them empty people’s nests, but nothing prepared her for her biggest and stickiest “get”—the grand, beautiful house of ill repute masquerading as a decidedly beddable B and B. Should Emma turn down potential clients in need of decluttering just because they are shady, escort-y, and proud of it?

Savannah is on a mission to reconnect the Prestly sisters the best way she knows how: reliving their carefree childhood summers at the beach. She's booked the same beach house, convinced her sisters to take the month off, and even made a bucket list to fit in all their favorite coastal fun. It's going to be perfect . . . or else. (And if planning this trip has anything to do with a certain secret she's hiding . . . well, let's not dwell on that.) Sun, sand, and some sisterly bonding--what could possibly go wrong?

it was a roller coaster ride I'd take again and again.
I didn't know where it would end until the end. The story was engaging and the characters very alive.

Wonderful novel!
Christina Clancy is one of my favorite authors. All of her books are worth every minute you spend reading them. It’s so refreshing to actually relate to, and to empathize with the characters in a novel. She makes them truly come alive, and she makes us as readers care what happens to them.
This book has layers to it that draw you in as the narrative picks up steam. I tried to slow myself down in reading because the writing is such a delight. It’s a roller coaster of a love story peopled by an unforgettable cast of supporting characters, all of whom will leave you wanting more please!

Perfect Mid-life read
4 1/2 stars ⭐️
Christina Clancy is a new to me author and I am so glad I found her.
This books opens with Grant, the MMC, being lost on his day hike in Palm Springs. In order to understand how Grant got to where he was missing, the author takes us back and forth in time to tell the story of this quirky couple and their lives together. Kim and Grant have been together for 30 years but never married. They have twin grown daughters, Dort and March and ex-spouses that still very much involved in their lives.
Kim and Grant are in a transition phase of life - empty nesters that are are trying to figure out what is next - Kim is on a six month sabbatical and Grant has lost his college professor job. They begrudgingly agree to head to Palm Springs, CA to stay in Basil’s condo at Le Desert - Basil is Kim’s ex-husband who came out as gay shortly after they got married.
Their adventures in Palm Springs are so fun, interesting, and nothing like they had back in the Midwest. Getting to know these characters through their good times and bad times as well as all the emotional baggage they each have is so well written and heartwarming. I could relate to so many of the emotions that Kim was experiencing during this book.
I highly recommend this book to anyone.

This is real life in a decades long relationship.
This is a story for every person in a decades long relationship. It validates feelings that you're not sure you should be having and actions you know you probably shouldn't have seen through. This story touches on all aspects of real life, the good and the bad, that occur and accumulate over decades of being in a relationship.
The setting of Palm Springs is wonderful and the details are delightful. The cast of supporting characters are fun to get to know and add so much to the story.
In the end, you walk away with a new way of considering the relationship (i.e., husband or wife - married or not) in your life and a deeper appreciation for the love that builds over the years.

The story never got anywhere
It just rambled on about the woman’s feelings. It had no depth. Had to stop reading it.
