The Beach House by Jane Green

This was one of those books that you just picked up and fell in to. I always enjoy how an author gives depth to characters and shows the interactions of everyone. There are several families involved in this story that all end up in the same place at the end, Nantucket. They end up in an old seaside home that an old timer has decided to rent rooms to help her financial situation. Nan, the owner of the home, has a wonderful way with all the summer tenants and their families. There are a couple of twists that truly surprised me. I was shocked at how she wound these side stories into the whole novel. I am looking forward to reading more of her books. It really is a good summer read.
