( ) Really enjoyed this book and what life was like for the wealthy back in the 1930's. I laughed reading about everyone smoking, and women pregnant smoking & drinking back then. It was a very interesting story of life back then, of the way Jews were treated, of a best friend relationship that was toxic, and of a love that never gives up. Very entertaining novel and I need to read her first novel now. I've spent a lot of time lately going through Beatriz Williams books. Luckily did I have a lot of them available as audiobooks. Like this one. It's a pure joy listening to Williams books. In A Hundred Summers are we introduced to Lily Dane who has returned to the summerhouse at Seaview, Rhode Island. However, her peaceful summer is interrupted when Nick and Budgie Greenwald arrives. The couple has just married and they are there to restore Budgie's family's old house. Lily and Budgie used to best friends, and Nick was Lily's boyfriend. So, this reunion is hard for Lily. Through the book, we get to know more about Lily's past through flashbacks as the summer progress and Lily try to get used to having Budgie and Nick back in her life. As usual, is the story Beatrix Williams has woven together fabulous. I spent some blissful hours listening to this book while working and I must say that if there is one thing Williams can do is take what seems to be a kind of straightforward story and throw in some twists. The writing is so good that I can easily picture the wonderful oceanfront community of Seaview. As for the story, I was captivated and I enjoyed that I did not always guess right what would happen next, especially towards the ending. What I truly enjoy is how human the characters in the book are, and that the title and the cover may make it seem like a light story, but there are serious events and people aren't always who they seem to be. A Hundred Summers is a fabulous book and I recommend it warmly! I've spent a lot of time lately going through Beatriz Williams books. Luckily did I have a lot of them available as audiobooks.
