Beachcombers

About the book

Beautifully written, powerfully felt, and full of both abundant joy and heart-wrenching sorrow, Beachcombers is an extraordinary novel that follows the bittersweet reunion of three captivating, very different sisters on Nantucket over a gorgeous, exhilarating summer.

Abbie Fox has been away from her father and two younger sisters for nearly two years, traveling the world and experiencing life without love. However, when Lily, the youngest sister, urgently emails Abbie, begging her to return home to Nantucket, she knows something is wrong. Emma, the middle sister, is emotionally distraught after losing her job and breaking up with her fiancé. Lily is also concerned about Marina, a beautiful woman renting their guesthouse, who seems to have caught their widowed father's attention. The sisters, who closed ranks after their mother's tragic death, are now faced with their father moving on.

Throughout the summer, the sisters' lives become as turbulent as the unpredictable currents surrounding Nantucket. Abbie finds herself in a complicated situation with a married man, breaking her own rules for love. Emma redefines success, and Lily struggles to balance her dreams with reality. Marina, seeking solace from heartbreak, faces unexpected events that force her to choose between fate and freedom. By the end of summer, these remarkable women confront major decisions and undergo transformations that surprise even themselves.
