Product description
Synopsis
It's summer on Nantucket, and as the season begins, three women trying to escape their problems arrive at the local airport. Soon Josh, a local boy home from college, enters their lives, becomes a confidante, and, eventually, something more.

Three women arrive at the local airport, observed by Josh, a Nantucket native home from college for the summer. Burdened with small children, unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious emotional issues, the women--two sisters and one friend--make their way to the sisters' tiny cottage, inherited from an aunt. They're all trying to escape from something: Melanie, after seven failed in-vitro attempts, learned her husband was having an affair, and then discovered she's pregnant; Brenda embarked on a passionate affair with an older student that got her fired from her prestigious job as a professor in New York; and her sister Vicki, mother to two small boys, has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Soon Josh is part of the chaotic household, acting as babysitter, confidant, and, eventually, lover.

Enjoyable

So far...out of the 3 other books by Elin that I have read, I still like this one the best. It was the first one I read and its my favorite still. The characters were funny, true to life - pretty much - and I could see myself in each of the women. I just wish I had the chance to spend a summer on Nantucket, as these characters do. Since it is a real place, not fictional, the pictorial way the author describes it - I would love to go!!!

Barefoot

I just discovered this author and really enjoy reading her books. The story lines and people could very well be true to life . After reading one of her books I would like to read all of her novels. I like her settings,would love to spend a summer in Nantucket after reading her books.

Liked it!! Liked it!!

This was the first Elin Hilderbrand book I read...just randomly picked it up one day and have since fallen in love with her style. With the setting in Nantucket and the way she uses the island almost as a character, I just want to pack and bag and head north. I love the descriptive details, but yet don't get bogged down in every shell found on land.

The characters in the book were believable and visible in my mind's eye. I just wanted to be there in their lives. A great read, whether you are on a beach yourself or just waiting at the local car wash.

Review For: Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand (2009, Paperback)

I had previously read Summer Affair and liked the style of writing so I decided to buy Barefoot and was not disappointed at all. This is a very good author. Can't wait to read the rest of them!

cute,goes with book content

I enjoy Elin Hilderbrands writing and have read all of her books. E bay offers a great way to purchase new novels at half the price.Barefoot is a great book, a quick read and very entertaining-not too sad, not too mushy-just the perfect balance.I will,no doubt,read it again.I highly recommend this book as well as her other books(my personal favorite-Nantucket Nights).Enjoy her books-they are excellent!!
