Intriguing and Absorbing

The Summer House is an intriguing story, filled with surprising twists and turns, which keeps the reader on-edge until the end! This is not a mush and gush romantic tale - but one of love and lost love. The heroine, Liz Adams, sacrifices herself for her father's wishes, dreams, and commands. Liz lives her life based on the decisions her father makes for her, as well as for her three other siblings. All of their lives become intertwined when Liz's husband, Michael, runs for the Presidency and even more so, when their patriarch dies and Liz is left to confront the façade and charade she has lived, and the love that she yearned for and could not have.This tale had many characters, and all were equally interesting but not to the point of confusion - a nice mix and balance.This story kept me guessing and I would really love to see a sequel to this book!! Too many unanswered questions and too many open-ended issues left in the book!This is my first book by Jean Stone and I would enthusiastically recommended this book to other readers. I am now in search of her other books to absorb!

Marvelously Written!

This was my first novel by Jean Stone, but it won't be my last! This novel is rich with multi-dimensional characters, each with their own motivations and greeds, and a storyline readers won't be able to forget. Marvelous!

You won't want to put it down!

I had never read a book by Jean Stone before and was surprized with the plot. The book is a quick read and keeps your attention. If you read books as a way to relax this is a perfect book for you.

The Summer House

This book was wonderful! I could not put it down. I loved all the relationships between all of the characters. I wish it was a little longer!

WONDERFUL

I have been a fan of Jean Stone's from the first. Her books are always wonderful and never a disappointment. She has done it again with the Summer House. The storyline very believable. The plot twist terrific. A page turner from the first. If you have not read her books before after this one you will want to read them all.
