Summer Love

Summer Love is one of Nancy Thayer’s Nantucket novels, working in her established Nantucket setting and her warm romantic family fiction tradition. The novel follows the central characters through one Nantucket summer with the kind of multi plot family and romantic dynamics that her readers expect.

Thayer has written more than thirty novels with Nantucket as their primary setting, and her readers come back to her for the consistent atmosphere of the place. The Nantucket of her novels is a real place rendered with specific detail, with the summer rhythms of the island, the small year round community, and the seasonal influx of summer visitors providing the framework that her plots reliably work within.

For longtime Nancy Thayer fans, Summer Love is a comfortable summer read. For new readers, the novel is a fair introduction to her style.
