Florence holds retirement parade for Vevie McPherren Book Review “The Most Fun We Ever Had” by Claire Lombardo When Marilyn Connolly and David Sorenson fall in love in the 1970s, they are blithely ignorant of all that’s to come. By 2016, their four radically different daugh- ters are each in a state of unrest: Wendy, widowed young, soothes herself with booze and younger men; Violet, a litigator turned stay-at-home mom, bat- tles anxiety and self-doubt when the darkest part of her past resurfaces; Liza, a neurotic and newly ten- ured professor, finds herself pregnant with a baby she’s not sure she wants by a man she’s not sure she loves; and Grace, the dawdling young- est daughter, begins living a lie that no one in her family even suspects. Beneath it all, the daughters share the lingering fear that they will never find a love quite like their parents’. As the novel moves through the single tumul- tuous year following the ar- rival of Jacob Bendt — giv- en up in a closed adoption by one of the daughters 15 years before — readers are shown the rich and varied tapestry of the Sorensons’ past. Years marred by trou- bled adolescence, infidelity and resentment, but also the transcendent moments of joy that make everything else worthwhile. Spanning nearly half a century, and set against the quintessential Ameri- can backdrop of Chicago and its prospering suburbs, Claire Lombardo’s debut explores the triumphs and burdens of love, the fraught tethers of parenthood and sisterhood, and the baffling mixture of affection, abhor- rence, resistance and sub- mission we feel for those closest to us. In painting this lumi- nous portrait of a family’s becoming, Lombardo joins the ranks of writers such as Celeste Ng, Elizabeth Strout and Jonathan Franzen as visionary chroniclers of our modern lives.
