Review

"Thayer portrays beautifully the small moments, inside stories and shared histories that build families and makes the reader intimately familiar with the Wheelwrights' flaws and triumphs. She captures the essence of summer....[SUMMER HOUSE] reminds us that life is complicated, and the simple pleasures of family togetherness are too precious to take for granted."

"This well-wrought, appealing book....is packed with literally down-to-earth charm, what with a central character who escapes her family of starchy bankers by lovingly tending her vegetable garden."

Publisher's note

From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Moon Shell Beach"--a moving new novel about an unexpectedly magical summer for three generations of women
At thirty, Charlotte Wheelwright remains the dreamer she's always been. But when she begins an organic garden on a portion of her grandmother's land, Charlotte learns to plant her feet in solid ground and begins to build a new life.
More often than not, ninety-year-old Nona Wheelwright contentedly spends her time reminiscing about days gone by. But with her family's annual reunion and financial meeting looming, Nona must give up her days of quiet solitude to soothe her easily riled up family.
For decades Charlotte's mother, Helen, who married into the illustrious Wheelwright family, has been pressured to adhere to their way of life. But when, during the course of the family's annual summer retreat, she discovers her husband's betrayal, Helen wonders if she sacrificed her dreams for the wrong reasons.
Artfully written and set on the glorious island of Nantucket, Nancy Thayer's "Summer House "is a vibrant and stirring novel about family, love, and daily choices that affect entire lives.

Annotation

Over the course of one fateful summer three women must confront decisions they have made in their lives and find peace with themselves and each other. The Wheelwrights are as complex as any family, but nevertheless every summer they come together on Nantucket Island--this is where Nona, the family matriarch, lives. Tensions are running particularly high his year, however, because people perceive the help Nona has recently given Charlotte--her granddaughter who has long struggled to find direction in her life--as unfair favoritism. Charlotte's mother Helen, meanwhile, has her own concerns, trying to come to terms with some dark moments in her past.
