Madeline King and Grace Pancik are best friends and the envy
of Nantucket for their perfect marriages, their beautiful
kids, their Sunday night double dates with their devoted
husbands. But this summer, something's changed, and if
there's anything Nantucket likes better than cocktails on
the beach at sunset, it's a good rumor.
And rumor has
it...
...that Madeline, a novelist, is battling
writer's block, with a deadline looming, bills piling up,
and blank pages driving her to desperation--and a
desperately bad decision;
...that Grace, hard at work
to transform her backyard into a garden paradise, has been
collaborating a bit more closely that necessary with her
ruggedly handsome landscape architect;
...that
Grace's husband, successful island real estate developer
"Fast Eddie" Pancik, has embarked on quite an unusual side
project;
...that the storybook romance between
Madeline's son, Brick, and Grace's daughter Allegra is on
the rocks, heading for disaster.
As the gossip
escalates, and they face the possible loss of the happy
lives they've worked so hard to create, Grace and Madeline
try mightily to set the record straight--but the truth might
be even worse than rumor has it.
