Beach Club Novels

The Beach Club, the captivating debut novel by the talented newcomer Elin Hilderbrand, presents a series of personal dramas that unfold over the course of a single summer at a Nantucket Beach Club. It's a story about the love of summer, summer love, and the special feelings we all have for that particular summer place - in this case, a hotel and an island.

Mack Petersen, the hotel's manager, has been working at The Beach Club for 12 consecutive summers. But this summer is different. His boss, the hotel's owner, Bill Elliot, arrives in the spring with a new set of demands. Mack's girlfriend, Maribel, is pressuring him to get married, and Vance, the African-American bellman who has hated Mack since the day Mack took his job 12 years ago, threatens him in a chilling confrontation. Mack knows that something has to give.

Love O'Donnell, the new front desk employee fresh from the slopes of Aspen, is desperately searching for a stranger to father her child. Jem Crandall, the bellman who posed as Mr. November in his college calendar, is on his way to Los Angeles to break into the talent agency business, until he falls in love with Maribel. Emotions reach a fever pitch when a hurricane threatens to wash away The Beach Club and everything it stands for.
