A touching new novel from bestselling author Elin
Hilderbrand in which a woman sets out to find love for those
closest to her - before it's too late.
48-year-old Nantucketer Dabney Kimball Beech has always had
a gift for matchmaking. Some call her ability mystical,
while others - like her husband, celebrated economist John
Boxmiller Beech, and her daughter, Agnes, who is clearly
engaged to the wrong man - call it meddlesome, but there's
no arguing with her results: With 42 happy couples to her
credit and all of them still together, Dabney has never been
wrong about romance.
Never, that is, except in the case of herself and Clendenin
Hughes, the green-eyed boy who took her heart with him long
ago when he left the island to pursue his dream of becoming
a journalist. Now, after spending 27 years on the other side
of the world, Clen is back on Nantucket, and Dabney has
never felt so confused, or so alive.
But when tragedy threatens her own second chance, Dabney
must face the choices she's made and share painful secrets
with her family. Determined to make use of her gift before
it's too late, she sets out to find perfect matches for
those she loves most. The Matchmaker is a heartbreaking
story about losing and finding love, even as you're running
out of time.
