Description
Beatriz Williams' The Beach at Summerly is a captivating summer novel that whisks readers away to mid-century New England. In 1946, a glamorous newcomer arrives at Summerly, the idyllic seaside estate of the wealthy Peabody family, bringing with her secrets and Cold War intrigue. As Emilia Winthrop develops a deep rapport with Olive Rainsford, she is urged to leave the island for a life of adventure, while romance blossoms with Shep. However, their happiness is short-lived as an FBI agent demands Emilia's help to capture a Soviet agent transmitting vital intelligence from within the Summerly estate. Eight years later, Emilia's shattered life has been rebuilt, but shocking news arrives from Washington - the traitor she helped convict is about to be swapped for an American spy imprisoned in the Soviet Union, with a mysterious condition only Emilia can fulfill.
