**#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
**
In the summer of 1977, Victoria Leonard's world changes forever when
Caitlin Somers chooses her as a friend. Dazzling, reckless Caitlin
welcomes Vix into the heart of her sprawling, eccentric family, opening
doors to a world of unimaginable privilege, sweeping her away to
vacations on Martha's Vineyard, an enchanting place where the two
friends become "summer sisters."
Now, years later, Vix is working in New York City. Caitlin is getting
married on the Vineyard. And the early magic of their long, complicated
friendship has faded. But Caitlin begs Vix to come to her wedding, to be
her maid of honor. And Vix knows that she will go--because she wants to
understand what happened during that last shattering summer. And, after
all these years, she needs to know why her best friend--her summer
sister--still has the power to break her heart.
Praise for Summer Sisters
"Compulsively readable . . . [Blume's] powers are prodigious."--The
New York Times Book Review
"As warm as a summer breeze blowing through your hair, as nostalgic as
James Taylor singing 'How Sweet It Is.' You remember. So does Judy
Blume. How sweet it was."--Chicago Tribune
"An exceptionally moving story that can leave the reader laughing and
crying . . . sometimes at the same time . . . Blume creates a rich
tapestry of characters."--The Denver Post
"Blume's characters still tend to hover after the book is set aside. . .
. She catches perfectly the well-armored love between longtime female
friends."--The Seattle Times
