'The Lost Art of Insincerity' by Angela Hunt

I've been a fan of Angela Hunt for years, ever since she wrote the Heavenly Daze series with Lori Copeland.  She's a sweet writer, and seems to hit on the heart of what she's writing about.  The same with 'The Fine Art of Insincerity'.  The story centers around 3 sisters who go to St. Simon's Island to clear out their now-deceased grandmother's house.  A seller has been found and they have one long Memorial Day weekend to take what they want/need and have the rest disposed of.

What's interesting is how Mrs. Hunt portrays her characters (with different fonts for each chapter relating to each sister---it works great in distinguishing them from one another), so you see these women from their own viewpoint and from that of the other sisters.  It's not always complimentary, and interestingly enough, they each tend to see themselves in a more appealing light than the other sisters do.  Well, one sister isn't stuck on herself, but I won't spoil the story.

With many marriages between them (though one has been married just one time), this mirrors the many marriages of this one grandmother, and each sister has issues with what commitment to a husband really means.  The weekend is tragic in several ways, not in a long-lasting way, but in the situations that present themselves.  I highly recommend this as a restful summertime sort of book.  And the ending is perfect with a spiritual bent that I really liked.
