2000s: Over the course of the summer, life can grow as turbulent as the unpredictable currents
Abbie Fox hasn’t seen her father or two younger sisters in almost two years. But now Lily, the baby of the family, is sending Abbie urgent emails begging her to return home. Their middle sister, Emma, has taken to her bed, devastated after losing her high-powered job and breaking up with her fiancé. Also, Lily is worried that the beautiful, enigmatic woman renting their guesthouse has set her sights on their widowed father. The Fox sisters closed ranks years ago after the haunting, untimely death of their mother, but seeing their dad move on with his life forces each of them to take stock.
Over the course of the summer, the sisters’ lives grow as turbulent as the unpredictable currents off the New England coast: Abbie breaks her own rules in the name of love, type-A Emma learns a new definition of success, and strong-minded Lily must reconcile her dreams with reality. At summer’s end, these unforgettable women will face profound choices–and undergo personal transformations that will surprise even themselves.
Immerse yourself in a carefree and sandy paradise of a Nantucket summer. The Nancy Thayer version of Nantucket really is somewhere to relax and see the dramas of other people’s lives play out other than your own.
Nantucket comes truly alive in her books. There’s a nice mix of Charles Dickens style charm gleaming from the glistening cobblestones streets and historic brick buildings.
Be sure to walk on the beach, in the sea and watch out for the stunning beachside houses as seen in the novel. You’ll be wanting to move here before too long
An island can be one of two things – the place to escape to for bit of piece and quiet or a small, remote and insular looking location where you die for some company, civilization and involvement in the real world again.
Nantucket with its islanders and summer people can be both, but there’s never a dull moment!
