This novel has been sitting on my shelf for years and I finally picked it up. It’s 14 years old now, and I have to say, in my opinion, not Hilderbrand’s best. The overtones of wealth and entitlement were off putting in the beginning but the move to Tuckernuck Island was a nice change! Most of the characters were fairly well developed though annoying except for India- loved India. Overall an ok read but not my favorite Hilderbrand novel.
