Enchanted August: A Novel

â€œIn a rented seaside cottage in Maine, four women recharge, regroup and eat plenty of lobster far away from their pressure-filled lives. A charming, thoroughly engrossing novel thatâ€™s the next best thing to being there.â€ â€“ People Magazine
Â
On a dreary spring day in Brooklyn, Lottie Wilkes and Rose Arbuthnot spot an ad on their childrenâ€™s preschool bulletin board:
Â
Hopewell Cottage
Little Lost Island, Maine.
Old, pretty cottage to rent on a small island.
Springwater, blueberries, sea glass.
August.
Â
Neither can afford it, but they are smittenâ€”Lottie could use a break from her overbearing husband and Rose from her relentless twins. On impulse, they decide to take the place and attract two others to share the steep rent: Caroline Dester, an indie movie star whoâ€™s getting over a very public humiliation, and elderly Beverly Fisher, whoâ€™s recovering from heartbreaking loss. If itâ€™s not a perfect quartet, surely it will be fine for a month in the country.
Â
When they arrive on the island, they are transformed by the salt air; the breathtaking views; the long, lazy days; and the happy routine of lobster, corn, and cocktails on the wraparound porch. By the time of the late-August blue moon, real life and its complications have finally fallen far, far away. For on this idyllic island they gradually begin to open up: to one another and to the possibilities of lives quite different from the ones theyâ€™ve been leading. Change canâ€™t be that hard, can it?
Â
With a cast of endearingly imperfect characters and set against the beauty of a gorgeous New England summer, Enchanted AugustÂ is a sparkling summer debut thatÂ brilliantly updates the beloved classic The Enchanted April in a novel of love and reawakening that is simply irresistible andÂ offers readers a universal fantasy: one glorious month away from it all
