Book Summary |
|
In 2016, Mari Starwood arrives on Martha's Vineyard grieving the loss of her mother and carrying only a name written on a scrap of paper - Elizabeth Devereaux, a reclusive island painter. What begins as an art class slowly becomes something far more personal as Elizabeth shares the story of the Smith sisters who once lived on her waterfront farm. As Mari listens, she realizes her connection to the island runs deeper than she ever imagined. In 1942, sisters Cadence and Briar Smith struggle to keep their family farm afloat as World War II reaches the shores of Martha's Vineyard. German U-boats lurk offshore, tensions rise within the tight-knit island community, and whispers of spies circulate. To create a sense of normalcy, Cadence and her best friend Bess form a book club that quickly grows in influence. But when a mysterious man washes ashore and loyalties are tested, their quiet lives are forever changed. A sweeping dual-timeline historical novel filled with sisterhood, sacrifice, secrets, romance, espionage, and the enduring power of stories, The Martha's Vineyard Beach and Book Club is perfect for readers who love richly layered historical fiction and meaningful book club discussions. From the Publisher Ballantine Books | May 27, 2025 | 336 pages | ISBN-10: 0593354915 |
