Praise for The Book of Summer:
"Michelle Gable has moved in on [Elin] Hilderbrand's home turf with
a humorous and smartly written story of two generations of love and
vacations." --Wall Street Journal "A sure bet for women's-fiction
fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Nantucket novels." --Booklist "Gable
cleverly illuminates the past, revealing how it mirrors the
present. This is a splendid multigenerational novel about the
strength of the women of Cliff House." --Publishers Weekly
"Gable develops fully rounded characters that readers feel as if
they could reach out and touch. We want to know more about them and
Gable gives us plenty." --Richmond Times-Dispatch
"These laid-back books epitomize the term 'beach read.'" --Coastal
Living "A must for any summer reading list." --The Boston
Herald
"This time of year is meant for books to devour. Vacations, the
beach, lazy afternoons all call for a good book that allows you to
escape. Michelle Gable knows how to deliver." --Newport News Daily
Press "It's Gable's ability to weave a family's tale through the
musings of summer visitors, war, relationship drama and a
smattering of sexual tension that makes it a must for any summer
reading list." --Fort Worth Star- Telegram "A deep look at the
strength of women, this will tantalize readers as they, along with
Bess, learn of her family." --Parkersburg News + Sentinel "The Book
of Summer is delightful. The three main women in the story are
quirky creatures with major differences, but their family bond
shines through, making this a charming, profane, funny, and
touching read...A perfect book to bring to the beach, Michelle
Gable's fourth novel is sure to appeal to readers of Elin
Hilderbrand and Kristan Higgins." --Shelf Awareness "This book
warmed my soul and I couldn't wait to finish it! I aggressively
read like the last third of the book because I was so wrapped up in
it! It was wonderful and I would highly recommend this book to
other readers! Though now I want to binge read all of her other
novels because her narration style and plot points were all
wonderfully thought out." --The Lit Bitch "If you enjoy historical
beach reads that focus on family, you'll love The Book of Summer. I
especially appreciated how the past intertwined with the present
and the message of female strength throughout the novel. I
definitely recommend this one!" --Confessions of a Book Addict "A
great escape!" --The Fine Books Blog Praise for Michelle Gable:
"Plot-master Gable's (I'll See You In Paris) affection for hidden
treasures emerges again in her second absorbing novel. Readers are
kept guessing 'til the end in this sweet story of love, mystery,
art, literature, and Paris. As complex and moving as Naomi Wood's
Mrs. Hemingway and Liz Trenow's The Forgotten Seamstress."
--Booklist "Gable (A Paris Apartment) writes an engaging story, and
both worlds--Annie's in 2001 and Pru's in 1973--are easy to slide
into. Readers will root for both women as they uncover family
secrets and discover hidden aspects of themselves. Readers of Kate
Morton and those who enjoy family-centered mysteries will approve
highly of this book." --Library Journal "Gable (I'll See You In
Paris) has crafted another page-turner of a good read, filled with
history, mystery and a dash of romance. This is the sort of fun,
escapist read that is beloved by books clubs. There are characters
to love, characters to hate, enticing settings and a requisite
amount of plot twists." --Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Michelle Gable
(I'll See You In Paris)...elegantly navigates the narratives of the
generations, making each set of characters complex and likable."
--Richmond Times Dispatch
"Gable's (I'll See You In Paris)novel provides a wonderful, highly
literate mystery...stories within stories, an almost Wuthering
Heights narrative complexity." --The Roanoke Times
"Gable (A Paris Apartment) tells an engaging story of a
fascinating, largely forgotten historical figure against the
backdrop of two fledgling romances." --Kirkus Reviews
