About this listen

 "The perfect summer read" (Booklist) from New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand: an intense tale of love and loyalty set against the backdrop of endless summer island life. With rumors of infidelity straining Greg and Tess MacAvoy's marriage, the couple head out on their sailboat one early summer day to celebrate their wedding anniversary, hoping the roughest waters are behind them. But in an accident off Nantucket, they mysteriously drown, leaving behind two small children as well as three couples who have long been their closest friends. Tragedy brings to the surface long-simmering conflicts and emotions, and the MacAvoys' six grieving friends find themselves unprepared for the revelation of secret upon secret as they struggle to answer the question: What happened to Greg and Tess?

The Castaways probes the boundaries of friendship and forgiveness as it tells a page-turning story of passion, betrayal, and suspense, filled with the perfect details of summer island life that have made Elin Hilderbrand's novels beloved bestsellers.

Please enjoy a sneak peek of Swan Song by Elin Hilderbrand and read by Erin Bennett at the end of this program. Contemporary Family Life Genre Fiction Psychological Women's Fiction

Really enjoyed this book. The narrator had a lovely calming voice. Perfect escapism for these strange times.

...and maybe that isn't the point, but I was so distracted by the reader that I stopped caring. So much of it sounded like weekly shopping lists strung together by bits of story - such a pity because I usually love EH.

It's not sure if it's a whodunit or a drama...
