Publisher's Note
A novel only Judy Blume could write, sweeping in scope and filled with memorable characters every reader will recognize, this unforgettable exploration of kinship, class, and family, of friendship, love, and ultimate fulfillment tells of the fundamental choices that everyone must make in the passage from innocence to knowledge. No writer captures the seasons of our lives better than Judy Blume. Now, from the New York Times bestselling author of Wifey and Smart Women, comes an extraordinary novel of reminiscence and awakening--an unforgettable story of two women, two families, and the friendships that shape a lifetime.When Victoria Leonard answers the phone in her Manhattan office, Caitlins voice catches her by surprise. Vix hasnt talked to her oldest friend in months. Caitlins news takes her breath away--and Vix is transported back in time, back to the moment she and Caitlin Somers first met, back to the casual betrayals and whispered confessions of their long, complicated friendship, back to the magical island where two friends became summer sisters.Caitlin dazzled Vix from the start, sweeping her into the heart of the unruly Somers family, into a world of privilege, adventure, and sexual daring. Vixs bond with her summer family forever reshapes her ties to her own, opening doors to opportunities she had never imagined--until the summer she falls passionately in love. Then, in one shattering moment on a moonswept Vineyard beach, everything changes, exposing a dark undercurrent in her extraordinary friendship with Caitlin that will haunt them through the years.As their story carries us from Santa Fe to Marthas Vineyard, from New York to Venice, we come to know the men and women who shape their lives. And as we follow the two women on the paths they each choose, we wait for the inevitable reckoning to be made in the fine spaces between friendship and betrayal, between love and freedom.Summer Sisters is a riveting exploration of the choices that define our lives, of friendship and love, of the families we are born into and those we struggle to create. For every woman who has ever had a friend too dangerous to forgive and too essential to forget, Summer Sisters will glue you to every page, reading and remembering.Judy Blumes twenty-one books have sold over sixty-five million copies worldwide and have been translated into twenty languages. She spends summers on Martha's Vineyard with her family.
Industry reviews
"...Blume has never pretended to write literature. With engaging characters, an intriguing plot and plenty of sex, this is an entertaining adult fairy tale..." San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Linda Perkins (05/17/1998) "The dark and light sides of friendship breathlessly explored in a novel best saved for summer beachside reading." Walton
