In the enchanting tapestry of life, the Perkins are a family unraveling at the seams. Charlotte, at seventy, ignites the spark of reunion with a seductive essay that wins her a coveted cruise. Yearning to mend the broken threads of their relationship, she gathers her offspring: Lee, the starlet just shy of fame; Cord, the suitorless financier; and Regan, the resentful matron. As the Splendido Marveloso sails from the shores of Athens to the romance of Rome and the flavors of Barcelona, old wounds crack open, and secrets spill out. Love, both old and new, sails along. Will this voyage be the balm that heals past hurts, or will it capsize the delicate raft of family bonds? 'The Jetsetters' by Amanda Eyre Ward is a heartfelt expedition into the intricate labyrinth of family dynamics, the courage in vulnerability, and the quest for emotional anchorage.
