Synopsis

Meredith Martin Delinn just lost everything: her friends, her homes, her social standing - because her husband Freddy cheated rich investors out of billions of dollars.

Desperate and facing homelessness, Meredith receives a call from her old best friend, Constance Flute. Connie's had recent worries of her own, and the two depart for a summer on Nantucket in an attempt to heal. But the island can't offer complete escape, and they're plagued by new and old troubles alike. When Connie's brother Toby - Meredith's high school boyfriend - arrives, Meredith must reconcile the differences between the life she is leading and the life she could have had.

Set against the backdrop of a Nantucket summer, Elin Hilderbrand delivers a suspenseful story of the power of friendship, the pull of love, and the beauty of forgiveness.

'A gem of a summer read with a glamorous location, elite lifestyle, and Hilderbrand's appealing take on the constant stress that fills the lives of women everywhere' * Booklist on A SUMMER AFFAIR * 'This book was a great read - you really care what happens to the characters. Perfect holiday reading. I didn't want to put it down' * Candis on BAREFOOT * 'An honest, raw tale of friendship and love' * Cosmopolitan on THE CASTAWAYS * so deliciously addictive that it will be the "It" beach book of the summer * Kirkus Review on THE ISLAND * It provides a pacey read, with colourful characters that have fascinating motivations. I couldn't get them out of my head for days * Sunday Express * Reminiscent of Jodi Picoult's work, this is an engaging, intricate read I didn't want to end. * Bookbag * Hilderbrand captivates with racy narrative, topical references, and characters who are both familiar and memorable * People * 'Takes the chick-lit trope of reclaimed friendship and updates it with a timely twist... Hilderbrand throws in a handful of plot twists that bounce the story along like a funky old jeep... Silver Girl [is] the kind of safe investment beachgoers should adore' * Boston Globe * 'Different from your typical chick lit: the plot is complex and a bit dark rather than funny, and the pace is gentle' * Sunday Canberra Times on SILVER GIRL *
