5.0 out of 5 stars READ WITH WARMTH AND UNDERSTANDING, 4 April 2001
By A Customer
Mother/daughter relationships can be strained or loving. They are both in Kristin Hannah's "Summer Island," a story of relationships, of rancor and forgiveness. Joyce Bean gives a subtly nuanced reading of this family drama.

Ruby has never forgiven Nora, the mother who deserted her. Years later Nora has achieved success - she's a nationally syndicated columnist and talk show host whose advice is steeped in old-fashioned family values. On the other hand, Ruby's career as a comedian is going nowhere but down.

When news leaks about Nora's past, Ruby has an opportunity to make a tidy sum by writing a tell-all tale. However, accidents do happen, and Nora is injured in one. She needs someone to take her to the family's former island retreat. Thus, Ruby and Nora are thrown together after all the years of bitterness.

Will their physical closeness bring about an emotional rapprochement?

4.0 out of 5 stars Another one to make you cry!, 7 Jan 2003
By A Customer
Having read another of Kristin Hannah's books, I picked this one up and looked forward to a strong and expressive novel and was not dissapointed.

Kristin seems to have the nack for pin-pointing emotion and making you empathise totally, for the characters and this is a great story about the difficulties between a mother and a daughter and shows how easy it is to misunderstand people close to you or make bad judgements that can waste a lifetime.

If you want a book that will make you giggle, cry and smile again - this is the one for you! Well, it worked for me anyway! :-)
