New York Times bestselling author Beatriz Williams brings us the essential novel of the season—a ravishing postwar fable of love, class, power, and redemption set among the inhabitants of an exclusive island off the New England coast

In the summer of 1951, Miranda Schuyler arrives on Winthrop Island, where she is catapulted into a heady new world of pedigrees and cocktails.

But beneath the Island’s patrician facade, there are two castes: the summer families with their steadfast ways, and the working class of Portuguese fishermen and domestic laborers. Miranda finds herself drawn to Joseph Vargas, whose father keeps the lighthouse. As the summer winds to its end, Joseph and Miranda are caught in a catastrophe that will shatter Winthrop’s hard-won tranquility and banish Miranda from the Island for nearly two decades.

Now, in the summer of 1969, Miranda returns at last. No longer a naive teenager, Miranda begins an impassioned quest for justice for the man she once loved.

Rezension

"The Summer Wives is an exquisitely rendered novel that tackles two of my favorite topics: love and money. The glorious setting and drama are enriched by Williams's signature vintage touch. It's at the top of my picks for the beach this summer." - Elin Hilderbrand, author of The Perfect Couple

"Longtime Williams fans, readers of historical fiction and mysteries, and anyone seeking engaging plot twists will find satisfaction in these pages." - Booklist

"With just the right touch of bitters, Williams mixes a satisfyingly tempestuous-and eminently beachworthy-[follow-up] to her beloved Schuyler Sisters series." - Kirkus (starred review)

"Engrossing and gripping, you will finish this book in one sitting." - St. Louis Post Dispatch

"Another hot book for summer from the prolific Williams... A romantic, multilayered tale." - Philadelphia Inquirer

"The Summer Wives by Beatriz Williams will give you the full order. It takes place on an exclusive island off Long Island Sound. Think: cocktails, sailing, croquet. A woman who visits as a teen falls in love with a local...who is later accused of murdering her stepfather. Intrigue, served." - SKIMM Reads

"The Summer Wives is a compulsively readable story that will make you swear you can smell the salt air." - Popsugar

"This book is what the term "beach read" was made for." - Buzzfeed

"Romance, class issues, dark secrets, and murder-it's all here in this deliciously rich novel." - Bustle

"[A] satisfying simmer of a read." - USA Today

"Williams has crafted a kaleidoscope of a novel - a mystery, a romance, and an utterly beguiling examination of the cost of secrets . . . The Summer Wives is a startling portrait of the courage it requires to make your own second chances." - Entertainment Weekly
