Description
Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the 1960s, Elin Hilderbrand's latest novel explores the secrets and stories that bind a family together. When the Levin children are unable to spend their summer on their grandmother's island home, each of them must navigate their own challenges and struggles.
As the summer of '69 unfolds, the family's dynamics are put to the test. With one sister pregnant, another caught up in the civil rights movement, and the only son deployed to Vietnam, the youngest sibling is left to confront her own sense of identity and belonging. Meanwhile, their grandmother harbors secrets of her own, adding to the complexity of the family's relationships.
This is a story about the power of family, the weight of secrets, and the resilience of the human spirit. With its engaging characters and evocative setting, Elin Hilderbrand's novel is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a compelling and emotional summer read.
