Meredith Delinn, the wife of a Wall Street Ponzi scheme operator, faces social collapse when her husband Freddy is arrested. She loses her homes, her money and her friends, and flees to Nantucket, where her old friend Constance Flute lets her stay. The two women, who knew each other in their youth, have to confront secrets and betrayals while Meredith faces public hatred. The book moves between present and past, and Connie's own troubles with a lover and her family add depth.
An easy summer read for those who like Elin Hilderbrand's island settings, and for readers who like stories of friendship, scandal and starting over. It was inspired by the Madoff scandal.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
