Notes From Your Bookseller

Kick off the summer with another fabulous book from Elin Hilderbrand! Filled with sharp dialog, wit, gorgeous descriptions of pictureque Nantucket, and lots of inspiration, this delightful novel is not to be missed.

This Barnes & Noble exclusive edition features a never-before-published essay from Elin Hilderbrand, ‘The Ten Best Books of My First Five Decades’, as well as a list of the top ten books she’s read since she turned fifty.

It isn't summer without a new Elin Hilderbrand novel — and this one is another immensely satisfying page-turner from "the queen of beach reads" (New York Magazine).

Golden Girl follows Nantucket novelist Vivi, who gets one final summer — after she is killed in a hit-and-run accident — to protect her secrets and learn from her mistakes while her loved ones still on earth try to solve the mystery of her death.

Vivian Howe, author of 13 beach novels and mother of three young adults, is killed in a hit and run car accident while jogging near her home in Nantucket. She ascends to the Beyond where she's assigned to a Person named Margaret, who agrees Vivi's death was unfair. Margaret allows Vivi to watch what happens below with her children, her best friend, her ex-husband, and her rival novelist (whose book is coming out the same day as Vivi's).

Margaret gives Vivi the use of three "nudges" so that she might influence the outcome of events in the world of the living. Vivi discovers her children's secrets, watches the investigation of her death (headed by Chief Ed Kapenash from The Perfect Couple) and worries about a secret from her youth, fictionalized in her novel, coming to light.

Combining Elin's trademark beach scenes, mouth-watering meals, picture-perfect homes and other Nantucket landmarks with a heartfelt message — the people we lose never really leave us — Golden Girl is a beach book unlike any other.
