Críticas

Praise for The Book of Summer

"A sure bet for women's-fiction fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Nantucket novels." --Booklist

"Gable cleverly illuminates the past, revealing how it mirrors the present. This is a splendid multigenerational novel about the strength of the women of Cliff House." --Publishers Weekly

"Gable develops fully rounded characters that readers feel as if they could reach out and touch. We want to know more about them and Gable gives us plenty." --Richmond Times-Dispatch

"These laid-back books epitomize the term 'beach read.'" --Coastal Living

"A must for any summer reading list." --The Boston Herald

"This time of year is meant for books to devour. Vacations, the beach, lazy afternoons all call for a good book that allows you to escape. Michelle Gable knows how to deliver." --Newport News Daily Press

"It's Gable's ability to weave a family's tale through the musings of summer visitors, war, relationship drama and a smattering of sexual tension that makes it a must for any summer reading list." --Fort Worth Star- Telegram

"A deep look at the strength of women, this will tantalize readers as they, along with Bess, learn of her family." --Parkersburg News + Sentinel

"[The Summer I Met Jack] offers an alternate Kennedy family history that will leave readers wondering whether America knew the real JFK at all." --Kirkus Reviews

Reseña del editor

In 1950, a young, beautiful Polish refugee arrives in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, to work as a maid for one of the wealthiest families in America. Alicia is dazzled by the large, charismatic family -- in particular the oldest son, Jack, a rising politician. The pair is soon engaged, but Jack's father forbids the marriage. The Summer I Met Jack is based on the real life of Alicia Corning Clark, who J. Edgar Hoover insisted was paid by the Kennedys to keep quiet about her romance with JFK and a baby they may have had together.
