Book Beginnings - 4/21/2017

My book beginnings is taken from THE BOOK OF SUMMER by Michelle Gable:

 

"Rumor has it the quintessential Nantucket manse known as Cliff House is days from falling into the ocean.  A heartbreak, to be sure.  It's the only original and complete pre-1978 building left on the northernmost half of Baxter Road."

An enjoyable read - review will be on May 9.

  2. The Book of Summer sounds good...and I am also eager to read the Karen White, which I now have, and I Found You, which has been on my stacks for a while.

    Here's mine: “WOMAN NO. 17”

  4. Only pre-1978 house? That makes me wonder what's going on. It reveals the setting, but not much about the characters or the plot.

    1. It was good.

      It was about the Codman family and the summer house that has been in the family for a hundred years. The house and land was being eroded by the ocean, and the last surviving female doesn't want to give up the house.

      I enjoyed the books.

      Thanks for stopping, Roberta.

    1. It was good.

      My only complaint was the small, handwriten font on the parts that contained excerpts from the memory book they kept in the house. :)

      I had to use a magnifying glass to read it. LOL!!

      Thanks for stopping, Mary.
