"The queen of beach reads" (New York Magazine) and #1 New York
Times bestselling author delivers an immensely satisfying page-turner
in this tale about a summer of scandal at a storied Nantucket hotel.
Fresh off a bad breakup with a longtime boyfriend, Nantucket sweetheart
Lizbet Keaton is desperately seeking a second act. When she's named the
new general manager of the Hotel Nantucket, a once Gilded Age gem turned
abandoned eyesore, she hopes that her local expertise and charismatic
staff can win the favor of their new London billionaire owner, Xavier
Darling, as well as that of Shelly Carpenter, the wildly popular
Instagram tastemaker who can help put them back on the map. And while
the Hotel Nantucket appears to be a blissful paradise, complete with a
celebrity chef-run restaurant and an idyllic wellness center, there's a
lot of drama behind closed doors. The staff (and guests) have
complicated pasts, and the hotel can't seem to overcome the bad
reputation it earned in 1922 when a tragic fire killed nineteen-year-old
chambermaid Grace Hadley. With Grace gleefully haunting the halls, a
staff harboring all kinds of secrets, and Lizbet's own romantic
uncertainty, is the Hotel Nantucket destined for success or doom?
Filled with the emotional depth and multiple points of view that
characterize Hilderbrand's novels (The Blue Bistro, Golden Girl) as
well as an added dash of Roaring Twenties history, The Hotel Nantucket
offers something for everyone in this compelling summer drama.
