Table Of ContentPraise 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 in 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

Always a place of peace before, Nantucket becomes the scene of roiling emotions and turbulent passions as Marcus, Winnie, and Garrett learn about loss, first love, and betrayal. And when they stumble upon a shocking secret from Beth's past, they must keepit from destroying the family they've been trying so hard to heal., Every summer the Newton family retreats to their beloved home on Nantucket for three months of sunshine, cookouts, and bonfires on the beach.
