Jane Green is one of the preeminent authors of women’s
fiction today, and with each new novel, her audience grows.
Green’s avid and loyal fans follow her because she writes
about the true-to-life dilemmas of women—and The Beach
House will not disappoint.
Known in Nantucket as
the crazy woman who lives in the rambling house atop the
bluff, Nan doesn’t care what people think. At
sixty-five-years old, her husband died twenty years ago, her
beauty has faded, and her family has flown. If her neighbors
are away, why shouldn’t she skinny dip in their swimming
pools and help herself to their flowers? But when she
discovers the money she thought would last forever is
dwindling and she could lose her beloved house, Nan knows
she has to make drastic changes.
So Nan takes out an
ad: Rooms to rent for the summer in a beautiful old
Nantucket home with water views and direct access to the
beach. Slowly, people start moving into the house,
filling it with noise, with laughter, and with tears. As the
house comes alive again, Nan finds her family expanding. Her
son comes home for the summer, and then an unexpected
visitor turns all their lives upside-down.
