In the bestselling tradition of The Friday Night Knitting Club and The Jane Austen Book Club, three women find unexpected answers, happiness, and one another, using Meryl Streepâs movies as their inspiration.
Two sisters and the cousin they grew up with after a tragedy are summoned home to their family matriarchâs inn on the coast of Maine for a shocking announcement. Suddenly, Isabel, June, and Kat are sharing the attic bedroomâand barely speaking. But when innkeeper Lolly asks them to join her and the guests in the parlor for weekly Movie Nightâitâs Meryl Streep monthâthey find themselves sharing secrets, talking long into the night... and questioning everything they thought they knew about life, love, and one another.
Each woman sees her complicated life reflected through the magic of cinema: Isabelâs husband is having an affair, and an old pact may keep her from what she wants most...June has promised her seven-year-old son that she will somehow find his father, who heâs never known...and Kat is ambivalent about accepting her lifelong best friendâs marriage proposal. Through everything, Lolly has always been there for them, and now Isabel, June, Katâand Merylâmust be there for her. Finding themselves. Finding each other. Finding a happy ending.
