Book Reviews of Barefoot: A Novel
Book Review: Excellent beach read!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book while vacationing in Florida, and it captivated me! Hilderbrand does such an excellent job in character descriptions and developments that I was totally immersed into the book. So much so that I couldn't put it down AND it didn't leave me once I finished reading it....it stayed in my mind for several days, making it difficult for me to read another book I was still so caught up in these characters. This book has all the right elements (love, heartbreak, friendship, sibling relations, and of course the beach) that make it a captivating read. Having never been to Nantucket, Hilderbrand describes it so vividly and emotionally that I felt I was there. The beach itself almost became another character in this stunning novel. This was my first novel by Hilderbrand, but have since read the rest of her novels since I was so pleased with this book!
Summary of Barefoot: A Novel
Three women arrive at the local airport, observed by Josh, a Nantucket native home from college for the summer. Burdened with small children, unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious emotional issues, the women--two sisters and one friend--make their way to the sisters' tiny cottage, inherited from an aunt. They're all trying to escape from something: Melanie, after seven failed in-vitro attempts, learned her husband was having an affair, and then discovered she's pregnant; Brenda embarked on a passionate affair with an older student that got her fired from her prestigious job as a professor in New York; and her sister Vicki, mother to two small boys, has been diagnosed with lung cancer. Soon Josh is part of the chaotic household, acting as babysitter, confidant, and, eventually, lover.Women's Fiction Books
