And, man flies to the moon, all amidst a backdrop of civil rights and war. When the Summer of ’69 heats up, Senator Ted Kennedy’s car sinks in Chappaquiddick in Martha’s Vineyard, causing the death of a woman. NOTE: Recently, on a trip to Nantucket, I spotted the house on which author Elin Hilderbrand has said this book was based:
Whereas they usually all spend the Summer in Nantucket with their grandmother, this year, Blair is pregnant with twins in Boston, Kirby is working in Martha’s Vineyard, Tiger is fighting in Vietnam and only young Jessie is vacationing with their grandmother in Nantucket. The plot follows the Levin family during a monumental Summer in Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. Summer of ’69 is my favorite Elin Hilderbrand book, one of my favorite books of 2019, and one of the best Summer books! It has a bit of so many things I adore: historical fiction family drama Martha’s Vineyard and pop culture.
