Book of the week! – if you are going to read one book, give this one a try…
The Hotel Nantucket by Elin Hilderbrand (New adult fiction: beach read, romance)
The beloved beach novelist deploys all her usual tricks and tropes and clever points of view, again among them a character from the afterlife and the collective “we” of gossipy island residents.
Our ghost is Grace Hadley, a teenage chambermaid who died under suspicious circumstances in a hotel fire in 1922. Grace’s lonely days are over when the historic property is purchased and reopened by a London billionaire. As Xavier Darling tells his general manager, Lizbet Keaton, their goal will be to get five out of five keys from Shelly Carpenter, an undercover hotel blogger who has not awarded top honors to any spot visited so far. A gorgeous remodel, a sterling staff, and free treats in the minibar all meant to please their guests. Which one is the hard-to-please Ms. Carpenter?
Other addictive storylines include a rich kid cleaning rooms to atone some mysterious, terrible thing he did this past spring, an evil beauty breaking up island marriages, and the desperate attempts of Lizbet’s ex. One of the special services Lizbet creates for the guests of the Hotel Nantucket is a “Blue Book” containing all her recommended island itineraries. A real-life version is included as an appendix, giving the complete scoop on where to eat, drink, sunbathe, shop, and stay on the island, plus notes on which Hilderbrand novels happened where.
If you’re ready to check out Chicken Box or to try the sandwiches on herb bread that lured the author to become a permanent island resident in 1993, the Elin Hilderbrand Bucket List Weekend really is a thing.
