Now they were on the trip in the future they couldn't imagine, and Alice was facing three days in paradise with her meddlesome daughter and a strange, new intolerance for her meddling.
Twenty-something Lola and her mother, Alice, never expected to find themselves at an all-inclusive resort in Cancún. But they also never imagined their lives without Burt, the father and husband they lost to early-onset dementia just over a year ago. La Mer—with its buffets, beachfront bars, and smiling staff—promises to be a welcome, restorative retreat.
In close quarters, though, even a resort’s worth of manufactured diversions can’t keep their old neuroses and new frustrations at bay. Their fellow guests are obnoxious. The lagoon outside their room might be crocodile-infested. And the secrets they’ve been harboring from each other grow harder to ignore by the day. But before they can write off the trip entirely, they meet Diego, a disenchanted and disarmingly charming employee who quickly proves to be more than just a welcome distraction.
Flush with the energy of this endearing, fish-out-of-water duo, and deeply attuned to the intricacies of mother-daughter relationships, Sunbathing is a sharp, emotionally resonant, and memorable exploration of the surprising possibilities and transformations that find us at every age.
