  I loved the writing style of the author. Is it weird that the Epilogue was my favourite part of the whole book? It was so emotional without being sappy, like I feared it would be.

  Three women- burdened with small children, unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious emotional issues- tumble onto the Nantucket airport tarmac one hot June afternoon. Vicki, the mother of two young boys, is trying to sort through the news that she has a serious illness. Her sister, Brenda, has just left her prestigious job as a professor after being caught in an affair with an older student. And their friend Melanie, following seven failed in vitro attempts, is pregnant at last- but only after learning that her husband is having an affair. They have come to escape, enjoy the sun, and relax in Nantucket's calming air. But the sweet cottage that has been in the family for ages may not be big enough to contain the hurricane of emotions sweeping through it.
