Nan, a widow whose family has flown the nest, is an independent, free-spirited woman who couldn't care less what people think about her living alone in her beloved beach house. But when she discovers that money is running out and she might lose her home, she knows it's time for a drastic change.
Nan decides to rent out rooms for the summer and people start moving into the house, filling it with noise, laughter and tears. Among them is Daniel, a recently divorced father, who's struggling to find out who he really is, and Daff, the single mother of a truculent teenager who blames her mother unreservedly for her parents' divorce.
As the house comes to life again, Nan finds her family growing. Her son comes home for the summer and an unexpected visitor turns up, turning all their lives upside down ...
Compelling, absorbing and poignant, The Beach House is a story of friendship, love and those moments that can change your life.
This was a totally yummy fluff read! You know one of those books you settle yourself down on the beach with and just loose yourself in for a few hours. Great fun and quirky characters, great storyline, wonderful setting, what more can I say! This should most definietly find it's way onto your summer reading list.
