Enchanted August
By Brenda BowenIn a rented seaside cottage in Maine, four women recharge, regroup, and eat plenty of lobster far away from their pressure-filled lives. A charming, thoroughly engrossing novel that s the next best thing to being there. "People Magazine""Hopewell Cottage""Little Lost Island, Maine.""Old, pretty cottage to rent on a small island.""Springwater, blueberries, sea glass.""August."So reads an ad on Lottie Wilkes and Rose Arbuthnot s children s preschool bulletin board.When the mothers arrive on the island, they are transformed by the salt air; the breathtaking views; the long, lazy days; and the happy routine of lobster, corn, and cocktails on the wraparound porch. By the time of the late-August blue moon, real life and its complications have finally fallen far, far away. For on this idyllic island they gradually begin to open up: to one another and to the possibilities of lives quite different from the ones they ve been leading. Change can t be that hard, can it?With a cast of endearingly imperfect characters including indie movie star Caroline Dester and an elderly Beverly Fisher, who is recovering from heartbreaking loss and set against the beauty of a gorgeous New England summer, " Enchanted August" is a sparkling summer debut that brilliantly updates the beloved classic "The Enchanted April" in a novel of love and reawakening that is simply irresistible."
