Furiously Writing: A Hundred Summers

A Hundred Summers

I borrowed A Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams from the library. It was the first book I read from this author and the writing was really beautiful. New York socialite Lily Dane returns to her summer home in New England and her former college friend arrives with her new husband, Lily's former love.

A Hundred Summers

Like The Best of Us, the book ends with a hurricane. Will that be the new literary device, as the ____ Wife was in the past?

By the midpoint I had a few ideas of what could happen but the graceful storytelling made me unable to put the book down. Read it while traveling and you won't mind all the waiting.
