Title: Silver Girl Pdf A Novel
Elin Hilderbrand lives on Nantucket with her husband and their three children. She grew up in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, and is an enthusiastic Philadelphia Eagles fan. She has traveled extensively through six continents but loves no place better than Nantucket, where she enjoys jogging, cooking, and watching her sons play Little League Baseball. Hilderbrand is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University and the graduate fiction workshop at the University of Iowa.
Desperate and facing homelessness, Meredith receives a call from her old best friend, Constance Flute. Connie's had recent worries of her own, and the two depart for a summer on Nantucket in an attempt to heal. But the island can't offer complete escape, and they're plagued by new and old troubles alike. When Connie's brother Toby - Meredith's high school boyfriend - arrives, Meredith must reconcile the differences between the life she is leading and the life she could have had.
Set against the backdrop of a Nantucket summer, Elin Hilderbrand delivers a suspenseful story of the power of friendship, the pull of love, and the beauty of forgiveness.
Not her best... I absolutely love Elin Hilderbrand and look forward to her new book coming out every summer. Although the writing of this book was very good along the lines of her usual style, the story was hackneyed and oddly familiar.This book revolves around "Meredith" whose husband just got busted for the largest Ponzi scheme in history, to the tune of $50 Billion... Sound familiar?!? All her friends disown her and her children are prevented by the courts from speaking to her. She just happens to have an old friend from grade school who happens to have a summer house right on the beach in Nantucket... (Why don't I have friends like this to call when I'm having problems?!?) Anyway, she goes to Nantucket to escape the media circus only to encounter a stalker, a love interest, and further troubles from the press.The book may be a little predictably and too close to the real Madoff story, but it is well written and definitely a good summer book. However, if you want to read only ONE Elin Hilderbrand, read one of her others.Difficult to let this one go I loved this story. The characters were so well developed, the story flowed along beautifully, and now that I have read it all, I am finding it hard to get the story out of my mind. Meredith had such a charmed life, and when it fell apart, she had to figure out how to go on. It took her some time, but she did it and did it while remaining true to herself, even discovering some of that truth along the way. Connie was still grieving the loss of her husband and had her own demons to deal with. Both women had much to figure out, and they did it with grace and a bit of a helping hand. I have read several books by this author and enjoyed them all for the most part, but this one will always stand out. It's a beautifully told story.Insightful & Topical With the Madoff scandal continuing to be in the news (just today their longtime accountant's son committed suicide) we get a fictional peek into the life of an innocent player - in this case the "no-nothing" wife. The author builds a believable story of how one could be totally innocent of any knowledge of her husband's crimes; and she creates a character that we really like, too. Not an easy task. I wouldn't like the character if she appeared to be totally clueless about everything in life; but this character seems totally engaged and very likable. The story is presented in present time and flashbacks. Supporting characters are well drawn too. My only complaint is that life gets a little like "high school" around the edges when an additional love interest appears on the scene. It is a good read and a good value.
