The "queen of beach reads" (New York Magazine) presents nine
captivating stories of summer on Nantucket--and days that last
forever--to carry us through when those warm sandy days feel far off.
Inside the collection, you'll find:
- Three years after Mallory Blessing's death (in 28 Summers), her
friends gather for another eventful Labor Day celebration on Nantucket
in "The Sixth Wedding."
- The marriage at the heart of Beautiful Day enters uncertain
territory when Margot Carmichael encourages her husband to reunite with
his ex-girlfriend in "The Surfing Lesson."
- In "The Tailgate" the weekend of a Harvard/Yale football game
recharts the course of "Matchmaker" Dabney Kimball's first--and
abiding--true love.
- In "Summer of '79," the three Levin sisters reunite after a decade
after the summer that changed everything.
- And more . . .
With a foreword by Elin Hilderbrand about the writer's reluctance to
leave treasured characters behind and a prefatory, "behind-the-scenes"
note included with each story, this book answers the prayers of both new
and seasoned readers everywhere who, like the Kirkus reviewer, "would
rather be living in an Elin Hilderbrand novel."
