So deliciously addictive, it will be the "It" beach book of the summer' - Kirkus Reviews This summer, four women are hoping to escape their troubles . . . Birdie is organising a wedding, though her own marriage is falling apart. Her sister India is running away from her first chance of happiness in a long time, while her daughter Tate is running to something, but what that is, she doesn't yet know. And then there's Chess, who is just a mystery that none of the family know if they will ever unravel. Gathering together for the first time in years in a ramshackle house with no running water on a remote island, the women settle into a routine. But just how long can they hide from the secrets, lies and tragedy they have left behind? ************** Praise for The Island 'Will please those looking for a satisfying beach read' - Publishers Weekly 'A perfect addition to some sunshine and long days at the beach' - Confessions of a Book Addict 'Breathtakingly brilliant' - 5-star reader review ************** Further praise for Elin Hilderbrand 'A gritty and moving read that oozes plenty of drama' - Heat 'A gem of a summer read with a glamorous location, elite lifestyle, and Hilderbrand's appealing take on the constant stress that fills the lives of women everywhere' - Booklist 'This book was a great read - you really care what happens to the characters.
