Additional The Beach House Information

The perfect title for the perfect beach read from the New York Times bestselling Author
Jane Green is one of the preeminent authors of women’s fiction today, and with each new novel, her audience grows. Green’s avid and loyal fans follow her because she writes about the true-to-life dilemmas of women—and The Beach House will not disappoint.
Known in Nantucket as the crazy woman who lives in the rambling house atop the bluff, Nan doesn’t care what people think. At sixty-five-years old, her husband died twenty years ago, her beauty has faded, and her family has flown. If her neighbors are away, why shouldn’t she skinny dip in their swimming pools and help herself to their flowers? But when she discovers the money she thought would last forever is dwindling and she could lose her beloved house, Nan knows she has to make drastic changes.
So Nan takes out an ad: Rooms to rent for the summer in a beautiful old Nantucket home with water views and direct access to the beach. Slowly, people start moving into the house, filling it with noise, with laughter, and with tears. As the house comes alive again, Nan finds her family expanding. Her son comes home for the summer, and then an unexpected visitor turns all their lives upside-down.

What Customers Say About The Beach House:

I should have put it down when I noticed the lazy grammar error on the first page. I was hoping for a fun, easy, interesting beach read, but it was nothing more than a hollow, uninteresting bore. I stuck with it until it became obvious that this book was never going to make up for the time I had lost reading the first half.
At 200 pages in, you still won't be hooked. This entire book is a cliche. This is the kind of book you could take to the beach and accidentally leave there and never once wonder what happened to the characters. This is the kind of mindless read I recommend when you want a break from more complex and interesting novels. You won't be surprised or intrigued by a single outcome. It's written from various points of view, and yet every character's voice is exactly the same.
I would definitely recommend it. The Beach House was my first Jane Green book and I truly enoyed it. I loved the characters and I felt like I spent my summer in Nantucket.
nothing too heavy, but a sweet change of pace. this was a nice book to read. refreshing even.
The Nantucket setting is explored in great depth and brought back many beach memories for myself. I couldn't put it down and won't forget the characters for a long time. I LOVED THIS BOOK. The characters are so intriguing, and the books surprising plot turns shocked me.
