Book of Summer by Michelle Gable

4.0

I enjoyed this galley from Netgalley, which told the story of Cissy and her daughter, Bess. Living in Sconset on Nantucket and trying to protect her house from the erosion causing it to basically fall off the cliff, Cissy's stubborn fight brings Bess back to Nantucket. After a failed marriage, Bess is unsure of her direction. Chapters also flash back to earlier inhabitants of the house, during the 30's and '40's, with war on the horizon. The family's history and the strength of the women in the family makes for a good read.
