Elin Hilderbrand’s books are the best beach reads around. I read them whenever I need a getaway, even even I can’t physically get away.
The Island is different from her other books since it takes place on Tuckernuck Island, which is a tiny, primitive island off the coast of Nantucket. True to Ms. Hilderbrand’s form the relationships between the characters are deep and meaningful and the character development is fantastic. I loved all of the main characters, I loved the portrayal of the relationship of adult sisters, and adult daughters and their mother.
