Nan Powers, a widow in her sixties, lives in a large old house on Nantucket that she has owned for years. She opens the house to guests, and over the course of a summer the people who stay with her learn from living together. Jane Green focuses on friendship, grief and starting again at an older age.
It is for readers who like gentle women's fiction set by the sea. It suits those who want an easy summer read about found family and small renewals.
Practical, clear-cut and escapist; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Escapist Adventurer. Which reader are you?
