Montauk by Nicola Harrison
I was really eager to read this book because I grew up on Long Island Sound and knew of Montauk. What I didn't know was any of the history of Montauk. This was a story of wealth and privilege as well as poverty, love, and loss.
In 1938, when the rich from the city get away, they head to the newest "in" summer vacation spot - Montauk. While the men head back to work in the city during the week, the women and children stay behind to relax and make their place in society. Beatrice is having difficulties having children with her husband Harry so she has very little in common with the other women, who are all pretty shallow anyway. She forges a friendship with one of the local woman and starts spending time away from the resort. While it might appear that this story is predicable, it is not at all and it doesn't resolve until the very end of the book.
I recommend Montauk and I had a difficult time putting it down.
