Barefoot

And so we have a new offering by author Elin Hilderbrand, author of The Love Season (c2006) and my personal favorite The Blue Bistro (c2005) among others. All of this author's works take place on Nantucket. A place that I would like to visit, particularly after reading about it in her books.

Barefoot on a beach in Nantucket are three women friends. Each friend comes with her own excess baggage. One has been diagnosed with lung cancer, one has gotten pregnant after many unsuccessful tries at invitro and one has been terminated from her job as a college professor after an assignation with one of her students. They come to this pristine island in search of a respite from all that their jumbled lives have to offer. Do they find it? Yes and No.

If you like this author, it's definitely worth reading. There is an epilogue at the end of this book which doesn't begin to give the reader all the answers but which shows that one can get through difficult circumstances and live.

Ladybookbug!
