Two sisters living on Marthaâs Vineyard during World War II find hope in the power of storytelling when they start a wartime book club for women in this spectacular novel inspired by true events, from the New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls.
âA dreamy beach book that also sizzles with tension . . . another winner by one of the best historical fiction writers around.ââFiona Davis, author of The Stolen Queen
2016: Thirty-four-year-old Mari Starwood is still grieving after her motherâs death as she travels to the storied island of Marthaâs Vineyard, off the coast of Massachusetts. Sheâs come all the way from California with nothing but a name on a piece of paper: Elizabeth Devereaux, the famous but reclusive Vineyard painter. When Mari makes it to Mrs. Devereauxâs stunning waterfront farm under the guise of taking a painting class with her, Mrs. Devereaux begins to tell her the story of the Smith sisters, who once lived there. As the tale unfolds, Mari is shocked to learn that her relationship to this island runs deeper than she ever thought possible.
1942: The Smith girlsânineteen-year-old aspiring writer Cadence and sixteen-year-old war-obsessed Briarâare faced with the impossible task of holding their failing family farm together during World War II as the U.S. Army arrives on Marthaâs Vineyard. When Briar spots German U-boats lurking off the islandâs shores, and Cadence falls into an unlikely romance with a sworn enemy, their quiet lives are officially upended. In an attempt at normalcy, Cadence and her best friend, Bess, start a book club, which grows both in members and influence as they connect with a fabulous New York publisher who could make all of Cadenceâs dreams come true. But all that is put at risk by a mysterious man who washes ashoreâand whispers of a spy in their midst. Who in their tight-knit island community can they trust? Could this little book club change the course of the war . . . before itâs too late?
