Resumen del Editor

From marriage, infidelity, and the mayhem of motherhood to scandal, tragedy, and illness - three women seek peace and comfort in Nantucket as they cope with life's challenges.

Three women - burdened with small children, unwieldy straw hats, and some obvious emotional issues - tumble onto the Nantucket airport tarmac one hot June day. Vicki is trying to sort through the news that she has a serious illness. Her sister, Brenda, has just left her job after being caught in an affair with a student. And their friend Melanie, after 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 into the house, into their world, steps 22-year-old Josh Flynn.

Barefoot weaves these four lives together in a story with enthralling sweep and scope - a novel that is as fun and memorable and bittersweet as that one perfect day of summer.

This started out slow but then you get invested!

This started out slow but then you get invested in to the four main characters stories. As always it makes you want to live on Nantucket and go to the beach.

A fun AND thoughtful novel

sweet but with a dose of heavy. a quick listen. enjoyable. love hearing about nantucket

Wow!

So beautiful ♥️ Such a wonderful story! I fell in love with every character. I appreciate the up and down in this story.

I liked the story but I kept if waiting….

It was a good story and I looked forward to listening to more when I had to put it down. But I really struggled with how self-absorbed the women in this book were. They could do nothing but think about themselves. I kept waiting for them to come around but they never did.

Another great one

I love this author. She never disappoints. The performance is top notch as well. I enjoyed it and was sad when it ended. My only critique is one character (my favorite one) was kind of left out of the ending. I felt like I was left hanging with her.

great book

very good book! Narrator should research the pronunciation of towns though. I grew up in the area the book takes place in. Darien is pronounced " Dairy ann" not
" darry- in". :)

Starts slow but ends better

It took me a couple of times to get into this reading. I didn’t care for any of the characters at first. As the book progresses however, a great story unfolds. But it’s a long journey.

Excellent and Unexpected

I am not sure I would have chosen this book if I had known it was the story of a journey through cancer. At times it was hard to listen to because I lost my husband to cancer. The characters are rich and I now find myself missing them. The character development is well done and overall a really great story!

Excellent Book

I really enjoyed listening to this book.
Due to many family members who were diagnosed and recovered this hits home.
I must read😉

not what I expected

I have read a few of her books and I've always attributed them to salty beach novels love and romance and The like. I tolerated it but I didn't really like this story. It was too introspective for Me. it wasnt what I was looking for and unfortunately my rating is low. I didn't like the characters Or the storyline.
