bsmith27's review against another edition
4.0
Fun novel about a family who vacations on Narragansett. The the novel follows the 4 women who are at different points in their lives through the history laden summer of 1969. The youngest character, Jessie, is 13 and falls in love for the first time. Kirby a 20 year old is trying to discover her way in a changing world. She is a rebellious Democrat. Blaire is a pregnant woman with a rocky relationship with her astrophysicist husband who works at NASA. The mother has a history and believes her past has made a karmic comeback by claiming her only son to be drafted into the Vietnam war. Kind of too sweet if a novel and idealic but a good read

Really liked this! Followin the three sisters through their summers was interesting, heartbreaking, and exciting at times. Can’t wait to read more of Hilderbrand’s books.
