Title: The Book of Summer

Author: Michelle Gable

Published: May 2018, St. Martin’s Griffin

Format:Paperback, 432

Summary:

The ocean, the wild
roses on the dunes and the stunning Cliff House, perched atop a bluff in
Sconset, Nantucket. Inside the faded pages of the Cliff House guest
book live the spellbinding stories of its female inhabitants: from Ruby,
a bright-eyed newlywed on the eve of World War II to her granddaughter
Bess, who returns to the beautiful summer estate.

For the first
time in four years, physician Bess Codman visits the compound her
great-grandparents built almost a century before, but due to erosion,
the once-grand home will soon fall into the sea. Bess must now put aside
her complicated memories in order to pack up the house and deal with
her mother, a notorious town rabble-rouser, who refuses to leave. It’s
not just memories of her family home Bess must face though, but also an
old love that might hold new possibilities.

In the midst of
packing Bess rediscovers the forgotten family guest book. Bess’s
grandmother and primary keeper of the book, Ruby, always said Cliff
House was a house of women, and by the very last day of the very last
summer at Cliff House, Bess will understand the truth of her
grandmother’s words in ways she never imagined.
