Description
The Summer Wives by Beatriz Williams In 1951, Miranda Schuyler arrives on Winthrop Island as a schoolgirl from a humble background, still reeling from the loss of her father in the Second World War. Her life is transformed when she marries into a wealthy family and becomes part of an elite social circle. However, beneath the island's polished surface, two worlds coexist: the summer families with their own customs and obsessions, and the working-class community of Portuguese fishermen and domestic workers who keep the island running. As Miranda navigates this complex world, she finds herself drawn to Joseph Vargas, whose family keeps a mysterious presence at the lighthouse. Years later, in 1969, Miranda returns to Winthrop Island as a renowned actress hiding a deep heartbreak. The island remains unchanged, yet the past and present collide in unexpected ways, threatening the tranquility of this exclusive community.
