What you need to know before your trail

When charming ladies’ man Rory Randall dies, he leaves one last trick behind. If his three daughters – from three marriages – hope to inherit their Nantucket family home, they must spend a summer living in it…together.

But can the sisters put years of tension and misunderstanding behind them? TV presenter Arden hasn’t returned to the Island since she was a teenager; college professor Meg just wants to get on with her writing; and secretive Jenny is grappling with questions about her identity.

As the three women discover newfound sisterhood, there are challenges still to come. And when a visitor drops by to deliver shocking news, the past comes back with a vengeance. Can the Randall sisters finally learn to forgive, and move on once and for all?

Travel Guide

Nantucket Island

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!
