GIVEAWAY: 3 Copies of The Castaways by Elin Hilderbrand

by

Good day everyone! Earlier today I posted my review of The Castaways by Elin Hilderbrand and you can see that review right here. This is a great summer read to take to the beach or just out in the backyard while enjoying the sun. Courtesy of Miriam at Hachette Book Group I have 3 copies to share with my readers.

Here’s a bit of info about the book…

Greg and Tess MacAvoy are one of four prominent Nantucket couples who count each other as best friends. As pillars of their close-knit community, the MacAvoys, Kapenashes, Drakes, and Wheelers are important to their friends and neighbors, and especially to each other. But just before the beginning of another idyllic summer, Greg and Tess are killed when their boat capsizes during an anniversary sail. As the warm weather approaches and the island mourns their loss, nothing can prepare the MacAvoy’s closest friends for what will be revealed.

Once again, Hilderbrand masterfully weaves an intense tale of love and loyalty set against the backdrop of endless summer island life.

About the Author…

Elin Hilderbrand lives on Nantucket with her husband and their three young children. She grew up in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, and traveled extensively before settling on Nantucket, which has been the setting for her five previous novels. Hilderbrand is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University and the graduate fiction workshop at the University of Iowa.
