2000s: Even on Nantucket Island, you sometimes need a hideaway
Moon Shell Beach
What you need to know before your trail
Lexi Laney and Clare Hart grew up together having wondrous adventures across picturesque Nantucket. And when it was time to share intimate secrets and let their imaginations run free, they escaped to their private hideaway: Moon Shell Beach. But nothing stays the same. With the complicated pressures of adulthood, their intense bond is frayed, hurtful words are exchanged, and Lexi flees Nantucket to a life of luxury while Clare stays behind.Ten years later, a newly divorced Lexi returns to make amends with those she left in her wake-particularly Clare, who still simmers with resentment toward her friend. Their emotional reunion is beset with major challenges, as Lexi’s return sets off a series of startling events. And as Clare’s life takes an abrupt detour, Lexi wonders if the happiness and peace they once knew on Moon Shell Beach will, in the end, prove to be as fleeting as time and the tide
Travel Guide
Nantucket Island
Nantucket Island
Immerse yourself in a carefree and sandy paradise of a Nantucket summer. The Nancy Thayer version of Nantucket really is somewhere to relax and see the dramas of other people’s lives play out other than your own.
Nantucket comes truly alive in her books. There’s a nice mix of Charles Dickens style charm gleaming from the glistening cobblestones streets and historic brick buildings.
Be sure to walk on the beach, in the sea and watch out for the stunning beachside houses as seen in the novel. You’ll be wanting to move here before too long
An island can be one of two things – the place to escape to for bit of piece and quiet or a small, remote and insular looking location where you die for some company, civilization and involvement in the real world again.
Nantucket with its islanders and summer people can be both, but there’s never a dull moment!
