Product Details

Synopsis

Praise for Summer People

“Summer People is striking not only for the ingenuity of its riveting plot, but also for the acute sense of character and the finely tuned craftsmanship with which Elin Hilderbrand brings its every nuance to life.”—Madison Smartt Bell, author of Anything Goes

Praise for Nantucket Nights

“Things get more twisted at every turn, with enough lies and betrayals to fuel a whole season of soap operas.... Readers will be hooked.”—Publishers Weekly

Praise for the Booksense/NEBA Bestseller The Beach Club

“Elin Hilderbrand’s first novel holds up as a surprisingly touching work. Weaving together a genuine affection for the Massachusetts island setting (where the author resides) with a gift for drawing realistic characters, emotional dilemmas, and resolutions, the thirty-year-old Hilderbrand has created something more than a mindless summer read: a work of fiction you’re likely to think about weeks after you put it down.”—People

“A charming, easygoing story about the tangled lives and loves of the summer crew and the guests at a hotel and beach club.”—The Boston Globe
