A truly delightful book. Officially written by Frank Gilbreth, it's really the story of his sister-in-law Barbara. When she marries Bob, the youngest son of the Gilbreth clan, he drags her to Nantucket for their honeymoon because it is Tradition. She falls in love with the Island and they begin working towards owning an inn. From inn-hunting to repairs that get out of control to crazy guests to the small town rumor mill, this book has it all. I giggled a lot, but mostly I just smiled. Some truly great characters float through this book. Highly recommended--if you can get your hands on a copy.

Not as good as the prior books. But it had its amusing parts.

I've waited a long time for this book! I'm thankful that Melissa let me borrow her copy. I liked it very much, Gilbreth is in fine form here, impersonating his sister-in-law. It's a little labored in parts but overall it is a delightful slice of Nantucket-that-was and I recommend it to all the Betsy-Tacy people. Gilbreth's voice is very distinct and amusing, and I feel lucky that I've managed to get hold of 5 of his books!
