No writer captures the
seasons of our lives better than Judy Blume. Now, from the "New York
Times" bestselling author of "Wifey" and "Smart Women," comes an
extraordinary novel of reminiscence and awakening--an unforgettable
story of two women, two families, and the friendships that shape a
lifetime.
When Victoria Leonard answers the phone in her Manhattan
office, Caitlin's voice catches her by surprise. Vix hasn't talked to
her oldest friend in months. Caitlin's news takes her breath away--and
Vix is transported back in time, back to the moment she and Caitlin
Somers first met, back to the casual betrayals and whispered confessions
of their long, complicated friendship, back to the magical island where
two friends became summer sisters.
Caitlin dazzled Vix from the
start, sweeping her into the heart of the unruly Somers family, into a
world of privilege, adventure, and sexual daring. Vix's bond with her
summer family forever reshapes her ties to her own, opening doors to
opportunities she had never imagined--until the summer she falls
passionately in love. Then, in one shattering moment on a moonswept
Vineyard beach, everything changes, exposing a dark undercurrent in her
extraordinary friendship with Caitlin that will haunt them through the
years.
As their story carries us from Santa Fe to Martha's Vineyard,
from New York to Venice, we come to know the men and women who shape
their lives. And as we follow the two women on the paths they each
choose, we wait for the inevitable reckoning to be made in the fine
spaces between friendship and betrayal, between love and freedom.
Summer
Sisters is a riveting exploration of the choices that define our lives,
of friendship andlove, of the families we are born into and those we
struggle to create. For every woman who has ever had a friend too
dangerous to forgive and too essential to forget, Summer Sisters will
glue you to every page, reading and remembering.
Judy Blume's
twenty-one books have sold over sixty-five million copies worldwide and
have been translated into twenty languages. She spends summers on
Martha's Vineyard with her family.
