Elin Hilderbrand Livres

Madeline King et Grace Pancik sont les meilleures amies du monde, et sur l'île de Nantucket, toute la bonne société envie leurs beaux enfants, leur couple parfait, leurs samedis soir si joyeux... Mais cet été-là, quelque chose a changé. Or à Nantucket, une solide rumeur est encore meilleure à déguster qu'un cocktail exotique. Et la rumeur court... Il paraît que Madeline, romancière, n'arrive plus à écrire. Son éditeur s'impatiente, les factures s'accumulent et l'angoisse de la page blanche pourrait la conduire à prendre une très mauvaise décision. Il paraît que Grace, occupée à transformer son jardin en véritable paradis, écoute d'un peu trop près son séduisant paysagiste. Il paraît que le mari de Grace, l'agent immobilier à qui tout réussit, s'est lancé dans une activité plutôt singulière. Il paraît que l'idylle entre le fils de Madeline et la fille de Grace bat de l'aile, et que le désastre menace. Alors que leur bonheur est en péril, Madeline et Grace tentent de démentir les commérages. Mais la vérité est peut-être encore plus sombre qu'elles ne le pensaient.

Elin Hilderbrand has written many, many enjoyable books but none have the magical allure that the Winter Street series possesses . . . I have thoroughly enjoyed some of her other titles, but this series is where she excels. Each word is straight from her heart and each one finds a special resting place in her story. If you have any trace of a sentimental bone in your body then you must read these books. They are all far above average with WINTER SOLSTICE being the whipped cream and cherry on top Huffington Post
