Editorial Reviews:
Marguerite Beale, former chef of culinary hot spot Les Parapluies, has been out of the public eye for over a decade. This all changes with a phone call from Marguerite’s goddaughter, Renata Knox. Marguerite has not seen Renata since the death of Renata’s mother, Candace Harris Knox, fourteen years earlier. And now that Renata is on Nantucket visiting the family of her new fiancé, she takes the opportunity, against her father’s wishes, to contact Marguerite in hopes of learning the story of her mother’s life—and death. But the events of the day spiral hopelessly out of control for both women, and nothing ends up as planned.
Welcome to The Love Season—a riveting story that takes place in one day and spans decades; a story that embraces the charming, pristine island of Nantucket, as well as Manhattan, Paris and Morocco. Elin Hilderbrand’s most ambitious novel to date chronicles the famous couplings of real lives: love and friendship, food and wine, deception and betrayal—and forgiveness and healing.
Customer Reviews:
More than one dimension. Feb 24, 2010
Enjoyable. The characters had depth and I love that. It's cute for a quick read, but not the best book in the world.
See below. Apr 02, 2009
I was very disappointed with the lesbian overtones which weren't made clear until the end. Had it been made clearer in the beginning I would have trashed it sooner. Just because Hollywood is putting out this garbage doesn't mean wonderful authors like Ellen H does just to "sell" books.
The Love Season Dec 12, 2008
Excellent book to curl up with at the beach or in front of a fire.
The Season for Understanding... Oct 31, 2008
In Elin Hilderbrand's The Love Season, the author explores the story of one woman's quest for love and family connection. This tale takes place over a two-day period on the island of Nantucket, but through flashbacks for the primary characters, the past is revealed in stages, until finally, we have the full story.
Marguerite Beale is a chef who formerly owned a restaurant on the island - a popular hangout for many locals - until something tragic occurs. A woman - Marguerite's best friend Candace, whose daughter is Marguerite's godchild - is accidentally killed. For years afterward, the husband, Daniel Knox, refuses to see Marguerite, or to allow his daughter Renata to have contact with her. He blames Marguerite for what happened. She blames herself.
As the secrets are revealed, we come to understand the complexities of the characters and the motivations that drive them.
The Love Season Sep 11, 2008
Elin Hilderbrand has a gift. She brings the past alive, ties it to the present and truly makes you care for the characters. I really loved her 'Barefoot' and didn't know if any of her other books could bring back that compassion, that engagement with the characters--but The Love Season does.
