The Silver Boat by Luanne Rice is set in Martha's Vinyard and traces the lives of three sisters looking for their father who sailed away to Ireland 28 years earlier and was never heard from again.
I loved Dar, the main character, who is a graphic novelist and uses her art as a means of understanding herself. I didn't always understand the motivations of the other two sisters, their characters weren't as well developed.
I think Rice is a wonderful writer, especially when writing about family dynamics, and the novel kept me engaged and interested throughout, but it wasn't my favorite novel of hers.
