“The queen of beach reads” (New York Magazine) delivers an immensely
satisfying page-turner in this tale about a summer of scandal at a storied
Nantucket hotel.Fresh off a bad breakup with a longtime boyfriend,
Nantucket sweetheart Lizbet Keaton is desperately seeking a second act.
When she’s named the new general manager of the Hotel Nantucket, a once
Gilded Age gem turned abandoned eyesore, she hopes that her local expertise
and charismatic staff can win the favor of their new London billionaire
owner, Xavier Darling, as well as that of Shelly Carpenter, the wildly
popular Instagram tastemaker who can help put them back on the map. And
while the Hotel Nantucket appears to be a blissful paradise, complete with
a celebrity chef-run restaurant and an idyllic wellness center, there’s a
lot of drama behind closed doors. The staff (and guests) have complicated
pasts, and the hotel can’t seem to overcome the bad reputation it earned in
1922 when a tragic fire killed nineteen-year-old chambermaid Grace Hadley.
With Grace gleefully haunting the halls, a staff harboring all kinds of
secrets, and Lizbet’s own romantic uncertainty, is the Hotel Nantucket
destined for success or doom? Filled with the emotional depth and multiple
points of view that characterize Hilderbrand’s novels (The Blue Bistro,
Golden Girl) as well as an added dash of Roaring Twenties history, The
Hotel Nantucket offers something for everyone in this compelling summer
drama. Read more
