Montauc. I loved this book from beginning to end, except for the ending. But fabulous non the less. Give yourself a gift and read this book!

Good, but…. Such an annoying ending.

Historical Romance Fiction. Montauk by Nicola Harrison is a stunning first book. Montauk is historical fiction that reminds us how different life was in 1938 America. I liked the depictions of the life of wealthy, middle and lower class New Yorkers, the struggles of life and death, how our actions affect so many. It’s a realistic story of each characters plans, but how little power they have to implement them because of circumstances they can’t control. Nicola Harrison has been added to my favorites list. . I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I appreciate the opportunity and thank the author and publisher for allowing me to read, enjoy and review this book.

Interesting Perspective. “Beatrice, don’t you see what I’m saying? He needs people like me to come in and save him so he doesn’t go under completely. We’re going to help him. And you, my darling, by staying out here for the summer and getting to know Montauk, you’ll be an asset to me. We could be spending a lot of time here in the future; it’s important to me that you like it.” He took my face in his hands and he kissed me. “I want you to be with me on this, Beatrice, in every way; can you do that for me?” These days , we look back at 1938 and laugh sometimes. In a world where women were still eye candy and were perceived as they didn’t have the brains to do much of anything, Beatrice questions why Harry wants her to stay at the seaside Montauk Manor all summer while he commutes back to New York City. They can’t afford to stay there; can they? Sure it’s really nice, but Beatrice doesn’t come from the “monied set”. Will she “fit in?”. Beatrice is bored. She and Harry have tried for years to have a baby. Maybe this summer idle will resolve that. However, Harry’s spending more time in the City than with her. Not impressed wth “the girls around the pool” she makes friends with Elizabeth, who works as a laundress at the Manor. Through her she finds the workers on the Island much more to her liking. This “summer read,”romance novel” draws us into the sociology of the world of the thirties dressed in the wildness of Montauk, which certainly becomes a character in and of itself. Nicole Harrison certainly writes a compelling book. It is quite readable and descriptive...at times uncomfortable, but entertaining. Recommended 4/5 [ I received this book from NetGalley and chose to review it]
