Items related to Summerland: A Novel
The "queen of the summer novel" explores the power of community, family, and honesty-and proves that even from the ashes of sorrow new love can take flight (Kirkus Reviews).
A warm June evening, a local tradition: the students of Nantucket High have gathered for a bonfire on the beach. What begins as a graduation night celebration ends in tragedy after a horrible car crash leaves the driver, Penny Alistair, dead, and her twin brother in a coma. The other passengers, Penny's boyfriend, Jake, and her friend Demeter, are physically unhurt--but the emotional damage is overwhelming. Questions linger about what happened before Penny took the wheel.
As summer unfolds, startling truths are revealed about the survivors and their parents, the secrets kept, promises broken, and hearts betrayed.

Review:
Can't afford to get away this summer? Travel without moving with this book set on the stunning American island of Nantucket ... The well planned voices, perspectives and plot twists means it keeps your interest until the final page. Best on SUMMERLAND 'A sensitive, human chronicle of the work it takes to move forward in deep grief, SUMMERLAND is as readable as any beach book, but with a much bigger heart.' Boston Globe 'Hilderbrand explores the power of community, family and honesty, and proves that even from the ashes of sorrow, new love can still take flight.' Examiner on SUMMERLAND It provides a pacey read, with colourful characters that have fascinating motivations. I couldn't get them out of my head for days Sunday Express on SILVER GIRL So deliciously addictive that it will be the 'It' beach book of the summer Kirkus Review on THE ISLAND An honest, raw tale of friendship and love Cosmopolitan on THE CASTAWAYS 'Perfect holiday reading. I didn't want to put it down' Candis on BAREFOOT 'A gem of a summer read with a glamorous location, elite lifestyle, and Hilderbrand's appealing take on the constant stress that fills the lives of women everywhere' Booklist on A SUMMER AFFAIR
