July and August

By Nancy Clark

Book Overview

A funny, bittersweet, and wonderfully peopled family saga from the acclaimed author of The Hills at Home , and a fitting farewell to the Hill clan. Great-aunt Lily's pile of a house in Towne, Massachusetts, is once again the gathering place for her far-flung grandnieces and grandnephews. As always, their arrival brings a high summer of comedy and drama. While Lily struggles to get her new business venture off the ground, her granddaughter Sally befriends the local math whiz; brothers and software entrepreneurs Brooks and Rollins turn heads with their supermodel dates; Cousin Julie announces her wedding to a man who may or may not be imaginary; and the family faces the possibility of a final leave-taking of Aunt Ginger, who continues to dish up crucial life wisdom-whether it's sought or not-while reclining on a lawn chair in the sun.

Customer Reviews

Good Series

I enjoyed the first two books in this series about the Hill family, and this one didn't disappoint. I hope there will be more. The characterization is lovely.

Lovely story

If you want action, this is not a book you would enjoy. However, if you enjoy interesting characters dealing with the joys and sorrows of life, you will find this a gem of a story. I especially enjoyed her insightful treatment of the little girls, Sally and Cam.

Hated For it To End!

I loved reading this book, so much so, that I am getting Nancy Clark's previous two books ASAP. (Side-Plug here for public library summer reading programs; I picked this up because I signed up for ours, and I am SO GLAD I DID!) This is not my usual genre, being an avid mystery fan, but how glad I am that I thought "outside the loop" for once! I hope there is a sequel, as I want to know what happens to several of Ms. Clark's characters, but particularly, CAM. :-)
