Nan Powell is a free-spirited, sixty-five-year-old widow who’s not above skinny-dipping
in her neighbors’ pools when they’re away and who dearly loves her Nantucket home. But when she discovers that the
money she thought would last forever is dwindling, she realizes she must make drastic changes to save her beloved
house. So Nan takes out an ad: Rooms to rent for the summer in a beautiful old Nantucket home with water views
and direct access to the beach.
Slowly people start moving in to the house, filling it with noise,
laughter, and with tears. As the house comes alive again, Nan finds her family and friends expanding. Her son comes
home for the summer, and then an unexpected visitor turns all their lives upside down. As she did so masterfully in her
New York Times bestseller Second Chance, Jane Green once again proves herself one of the
preeminent writers of contemporary women’s fiction.
“Green gives you a clear sense of Nantucket’s weathered splendor and offers up a refreshing summertime getaway…best read on a deck chair somewhere.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
“A sweetly memorable summer story, capturing the relaxing, renewing quality of life at the shore. . .”
—New Orleans Times-Picayune
“Breezy…deeply appealing.”
—Connecticut Post
“Green’s best novel in years, a compelling, unputdownable read.”
—Booklist
