The Beach House: A Novel by Jane
Green
I Loved It! A Fantastic Summer Read (Or Any Season)
The New York Times bestseller and ultimate beach read from the author of
Second Chance
Nan Powell is a free-spirited, sixty-five-year-old widow who’s not above
skinny-dipping in her neighbors’ pools when they’re away and who dearly
loves her Nantucket home. But when she discovers that the money she
thought would last forever is dwindling, she realizes she must make drastic
changes to save her beloved house. So Nan takes out an ad: Rooms to
rent for the summer in a beautiful old Nantucket home with water views
and direct access to the beach.
Slowly people start moving in to the house, filling it with noise, laughter,
and with tears. As the house comes alive again, Nan finds her family and
friends expanding. Her son comes home for the summer, and then an
unexpected visitor turns all their lives upside down. As she did so
masterfully in her New York Times bestseller Second Chance, Jane Green
once again proves herself one of the preeminent writers of contemporary
women’s fiction.
Personal Review: The Beach House: A Novel by Jane Green
My Husband Ran Off with the Nanny and God Do I Miss Her
Author jane Green hits a home-run in The Beach House. The novel is ideal
for the kind of reader who adores romantic intrigue; complex but exciting
interwoven stories that deal with basic human flaws and love and motives
and sadness -- truly -- Jane Green covers it all and manages to spin the
stories and interweave them in such a way that it is one of those books
that you don't want to put down and you don't want to end. If you are a
reader who wants action such as violence or a "big movie screen"story
line, this is not that kind of book. But to me, (as an author myself of a
recently published novel in the same genre) I take my hat off to the author
because we can really feel each of the character's thoughts and emotions
as they go through divorce or betrayal or whatever it is AND it is
fascinating how she brings it all together in one house in Nantucket where
a woman of courage and character unwittingly gathers tenants for room
rentals that shape and change each other's lives in ways that feel
compelling and real. I give the book a ten. Buy it for sure!!! Respectfully
