Heat Wave by Nancy Thayer

Just finished Heat Wave by Nancy Thayer, another of my favorite authors from Nantucket.  I love Nancy's books because they always seem so real and you can relate with the characters. Her descriptions of the island make you feel like you are there with her.


Heat Wave is a novel that explores the challenges that life brings to several different women who are friends and how they deal with those changes that are wrought by actions of loved ones. This book is  well written, has an amazing insight on human frailty as it faces and overcomes life's obstacles. I loved this book. It made me laugh, made me somewhat angry, and then made me cry. In the end it made me sigh with joy and fulfillment on behalf of one lady's courage to begin life anew.  


If you are looking for another great beach read, add this to your list, you won't be disappointed.
