El proximo nacimiento de un bisnieto induce a Catharine McLaughlin, matriarca de una numerosa familia irlandesa afincada en Estados Unidos, a afrontar su final haciendo un último esfuerzo por acercarse a todos los miembros de su insolita, extensa y variopinta tribu. Heredera del caracter apasionado de sus ancestros, Catharine esta dispuesta no solo a poner en practica la facultad de ver y hablar con sus parientes muertos, algo de lo que habia abominado en su infancia y juventud, cuando veia a su madre y a su porpio marido hablando a solas, sino tambien a aceptar la realidad de una familia desintegrada. Asi, desde seis puntos de vista distintos se van desvelando las vivencias y recuerdos de la saga de los McLaughlin.

Gemeinschaft und Zugehorigkeit kennt William Waters nur vom Basketballplatz. Das andert sich, als er am College die temperamentvolle Julia Padavano kennenlernt und sich in sie verliebt. Er, der eine ungluckliche Kindheit erlebt hat, erfahrt, was es heit, eine Familie zu haben. Denn Julia und ihre drei Schwestern sind unzertrennlich und ihre Eltern immer prasent. William wird Teil des so herrlichen wie anstrengenden Chaos aus Liebe und Fursorge. Zusammen uberstehen die Schwestern den Tod des Vaters und den Weggang der Mutter. In allen Krisen geben sie einander Halt und erfreuen sich gemeinsam an Julias Gluck mit William. Doch seine tiefe Einsamkeit wirft nicht nur Julias genau durchdachte Plane fur ihre gemeinsame Zukunft uber den Haufen, sondern treibt auch die vier Schwestern auseinander bis ein Schicksalsschlag ihren alten Zusammenhalt erfordert.Selten ist so mitreiend, so intelligent und zartlich uber Familie und Liebe, Schmerz und Heilung geschrieben worden, wie es Ann Napolitano in Hallo, du Schone gelungen ist.
