A Hundred Summers
368 pages; G.P. Putnam's Sons
Lily Dane and Budgie Byrne have vacationed together in Seaview, Rhode Island, since they were babies, and are close in the way only two people who've known each other forever can be. The problem is they don't actually like each other anymore. In Beatriz Williams's fast-paced love story, A Hundred Summers, we meet the now-grown women in the summer of 1938, when the scorching sun illuminates a friend's betrayal and reignites a romance.
