Barefoot

A Novel

De: Elin Hilderbrand

Narrado por: Rachael Warren

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 twenty-two-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.

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.

really depressing for half of the book

The main theme was Cancer, affairs not your ‘light summer beach read’ I don’t recommend!!

A fun AND thoughtful novel
