Narrado por: Christina Delaine

Elin Hilderbrand, author of the enchanting Summer People and The Beach Club, invites you to experience the perfect getaway with her sparkling novel, The Blue Bistro.

Adrienne Dealey has spent the past six years working for hotels in exotic resort towns. This summer she has decided to make Nantucket home. Left flat broke by her ex-boyfriend, she is desperate to earn some fast money. When the desirable Thatcher Smith, owner of Nantucket's hottest restaurant, is the only one to offer her a job, she wonders if she can get by with no restaurant experience. Thatcher gives Adrienne a crash course in the business...and they share an instant attraction. But there is a mystery about their situation: what is it about Fiona, the Blue Bistro's chef, that captures Thatcher's attention again and again? And why does such a successful restaurant seem to be in its final season before closing its doors for good? Despite her uncertainty, Adrienne must decide whether to open her heart for the first time, or move on, as she always does.

Infused with intimate Nantucket detail and filled with the warmth of passion and the breeze of doubt, The Blue Bistro is perfect summer reading.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The Blue Bistro is a wonderful, wonderful love story, the kind that you read, then recommend to many many friends - and so, I recommend it to you. Highly.” —James Patterson, bestselling author of Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas

“A wonderfully poignant behind-the-scenes journey into the world of high-end restaurants, island life, and the inner workings of the human heart. A great summer story.” —Lolly Winston, author of Good Grief

A Fun Escape

Although, the story seemed to have no real plot or purpose, I kept reading. I was roped in by the descriptions of the restaurant and food and life on Nantucket. I felt like I was part of the restaurant and enjoyed following the characters. The disappointing part was that, there was NO twist, NO point to where the book was headed and a TERRIBLE ending. The story itself let me down, 100%, however, the descriptive nature of the book itself kept me reading.

Enjoy

Nice book. Gave insight into restaurant business and unresolved grief. I love this author! Great description of good food!

Oh, the food!

Wonderful, unique story!
Scrumptious descriptions of food and the operations of a restaurant!
Very visual characters and superb narration.
I could not put this down!

I love Elin Hilderbrand but…

This just wasn’t her best, and I hate to say it. I didn’t like the narrator at all. The story was ok but not one of my fav Hilderbrand masterpieces. I just felt like the main character was really hard to like.

Wonderful, wonderful story!

Loved these characters and this story. As a self proclaimed d foodie and having worked in the restaurant business, I found that part of the store to be really enjoyable and fun. Loved the characters and the love story. Writing was awesome as far as the narration!
