Ebook About Four siblings experience the drama, intrigue, and upheaval of the '60s summer when everything changed in Elin Hilderbrand's #1 New York Times bestselling historical novel.Welcome to the most tumultuous summer of the twentieth century. It's 1969, and for the Levin family, the times they are a-changing. Every year the children have looked forward to spending the summer at their grandmother's historic home in downtown Nantucket. But like so much else in America, nothing is the same: Blair, the oldest sister, is marooned in Boston, pregnant with twins and unable to travel. Middle sister Kirby, caught up in the thrilling vortex of civil rights protests and determined to be independent, takes a summer job on Martha's Vineyard. Only-son Tiger is an infantry soldier, recently deployed to Vietnam. And thirteen-year-old Jessie suddenly feels like an only child, marooned in the house with her out-of-touch grandmother and her worried mother, while each of them hides a troubling secret.As the summer heats up, Ted Kennedy sinks a car in Chappaquiddick, man flies to the moon, and Jessie and her family experience their own dramatic upheavals along with the rest of the country. In her first historical novel, rich with the details of an era that shaped both a nation and an island thirty miles out to sea, Elin Hilderbrand once again earns her title as queen of the summer novel.Book Summer of '69 Review :
EDITED TO CORRECT A MAJOR ERROR: Somehow I got the impression that this was a debut novel. Put simply, I WAS WRONG and apologize profusely. Funny thing is, when I saw the author’s photograph, I remember thinking, “I seem to remember her.” Since I now know she is an experienced and highly successful writer, I am holding fast to my rating of three stars. Glad I didn’t decide to round up to four stars based on my erroneous belief. I do hasten to add that, I am confident, fans of this writer will be more pleased than was I. That is why I love Amazon reviews — different people share differing opinions so customers can make the best decision that works for them.Meanwhile, I shall wander off into some secluded nook and cranny so I can humbly munch my crow...I graduated high school in 1970 and went in the Navy to beat the draft. I was your typical, patriotic, conservative kid. Military service and the politics of the time shifted me strongly leftward. So, I wanted to love, "Summer of '69." How did I find this book?The attempt is notable and commendable. The difficulty, though, is that the language and thoughts of the kids is so poliished that it feels, well, disconnected from reality. At least, when compared to more average members of the generation for which this is a mirror.I read the first letter by Tiger to his little sister and almost wanted to laugh at how unrealistic the letter was.Then, a little later on, I read the dialogue of between parents and daughter. The tone would have been great, but the language used was, well, pollyanna.Mind you, I love the attempt to shine the light on the time of my coming of age. I just feel let down by the pictures presented to us.BLUSH FACTOR: No swearing. Only the word rhyming with dam appears. However, there is some, uh, romantic overtures, if you will, so use discretion before sharing with any youngsters. Otherwise, this is a clean book suitable for all audiences.BOTTOM LINEI'm between three stars and four. Don't want to be too harsh on a new writer, but, well, four stars might give too much credit.Three stars out of five. Actually, 3.25. Just can't round up to four. I have read all of Ms Hilderbrand's books, and while this one includes Martha's Vineyard in addition to the usual Nantucket setting, it was the characters that had less appeal for me. I have a long history of life on the Vineyard, and I could feel the excitement driving over the Sagamore Bridge to the Cape to begin a summer interlude. The picture of the Vineyard is perfect, including actual places. Placing Kirby there was a plus for me. The feel of both islands, the fact that little changes from year to year; the places, the faces, the activities all stop in time. That is real. I just could not really like the characters except for Jessie who is a typical 13 year-old of the '60's. Being of a certain age, the mores of the times, the events, the songs, the clothing, all brought back memories. It was the people who did not ring true or come to life. Exaltra is a stereotype, Kate is so full of angst as to be annoying, Blair's relationship with Angus more of the 50's, not late '60's. Darren is a throwback to Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. In my experience, the Vineyard has been integrated for decades; I doubt if a White person would be shunned at the Inkwell, although I have personally never laid my towel there. I wanted to like the people more, to root for someone. Then after all the turmoil, all suddenly is right again. The ending was too pat, too tied up in sappy "happy families." I will continue to read Ms. Hilderbrand's books, of course, but this one could have been better.
