The Summer Wives, by Beatriz Williams
5.0
Ooh this was another fantastic summer drama on the East Coast. Beatriz Williams’ books are always packed full of generational secrets that come back to haunt characters even decades later. It’s very addicting and I always finish these books in two days or less.
Miranda is not a native of Winthrop Island. Her mother marries into one of the summer families that spend their holiday being catered on by the local Portuguese working class families. Miranda is confused by the strict social divide between the two groups but she has only just begun to find out the secrets that loom on that New England Island.
Doesn’t that sound so intriguing? And it is trust me! This was such a great book I wish I read it on a beach!
I love books like this! I’m all for a fast-paced novel with secret romances and even deeper family secrets just lurking around the corner. And while I enjoy some women’s fiction in our present day period, there is something about having it set just a few decades earlier that makes it so much better!
