À propos de cet audio

Welcome to The Love Season—a riveting story that takes place in one day and spans decades; a story that embraces the charming, pristine island of Nantucket, as well as Manhattan, Paris and Morocco. Elin Hilderbrand's most ambitious novel to date chronicles the famous couplings of real lives: love and friendship, food and wine, deception and betrayal—and forgiveness and healing.

It's a hot August Saturday on Nantucket Island. Over the course of the next 24 hours, two lives will be transformed forever.

Marguerite Beale, former chef of culinary hot spot Les Parapluies, has been out of the public eye for over a decade. This all changes with a phone call from Marguerite's goddaughter, Renata Knox.

Marguerite has not seen Renata since the death of Renata's mother, Candace Harris Knox, fourteen years earlier. And now that Renata is on Nantucket visiting the family of her new fiancé, she takes the opportunity, against her father's wishes, to contact Marguerite in hopes of learning the story of her mother's life—and death.

But the events of the day spiral hopelessly out of control for both women, and nothing ends up as planned.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Hilderbrand's fifth book is a fulfilling tale of familial excavation and self-exploration….It's a refreshing, resonant summertime treat.” —Publishers Weekly

“Hilderbrand's sensitive portrayal of a young motherless woman on a journey of self-discovery, and her guilt-ridden godmother's attempt to find the courage to confront the past, is very moving.” —Booklist

“A good page-turner.” —Library Journal

I’m a big fan of Hildebrand and typically love to read her books in the summer and always enjoy the easy breezy reads…but not this time. The story didn’t develop the characters enough and there just wasn’t enough meat to feel connected to anyone. The main character had potential but then the ending went off the rails with an absurd twist. Lastly, I didn’t enjoy this narrator’s inflection so it difficult not to feel annoyed by the character voices. I wouldn’t recommend this one.

Not typical Hildebrand

Normally I love these books but this was hard to get into, boring story line, characters were boring and the narrator, her voice drove me crazy. Not a fan of this one

Very long drawn out story
