The Beach House by Jane Green


Genre - Family Fiction


This is a good book to read whilst holidaying at your own beach house. Jane Green is a popular author and she has written another easy to read story full of interesting characters. She brings to life the seaside town of Nantucket and introduces us to a number of flawed relationships. The story revolves around eccentric Nan and her lovely old house. She has decided to rent out rooms for the summer to help make ends meet when her son Michael returns home after extricating himself from a messy affair with his married boss. Daniel needs holiday accommodation to be near his estranged wife and beloved daughters and newly divorced Daff is having some much needed time for herself. I enjoyed following the various dramas which unfolded for these people even though I found it a bit too contrived when they discovered a family connection and all wound up on vacation at Windermere.
