Elin Hilderbrand

    17 juli 1969

    Elin Hilderbrand creëert meeslepende romans die zich afspelen tegen de schilderachtige achtergrond van Nantucket. Haar werk duikt in thema's als familie, relaties en het leven op het eiland, met een scherpe focus op de psychologie van de personages en hun innerlijke strijd. Hilderbrand vangt meesterlijk de sfeer en het unieke karakter van haar geliefde setting, en doordrenkt haar verhalen met een onmiskenbaar gevoel van plaats. Haar schrijfstijl is zowel toegankelijk als inzichtelijk, en biedt lezers boeiende verkenningen van menselijke ervaringen.

    • ‘Perfect voor een dag op het strand.’ People Harper Frost fladdert door het leven en trekt zich van niets en niemand iets aan. Haar tweelingzus Tabitha is elegant en beschaafd, en doet alles volgens de regels. Ze lijken uiterlijk dan misschien als twee druppels water op elkaar, hun karakters hadden niet meer van elkaar kunnen verschillen en de zusjes zijn dan ook al jaren van elkaar vervreemd. Wanneer een familiecrisis hen dwingt een team te vormen – of in elk geval te doen alsof – beseft de tweeling dat de speciale band die ze hebben misschien toch belangrijker is dan de verwijten die hen uit elkaar hebben gedreven. Zijn ze in staat om de strijdbijl en hun onderlinge rivaliteit te begraven en opnieuw te beginnen? De pers over Zomerzusjes ’Sensueel, hartverwarmend en meeslepend. Ik ben dol op de boeken van Elin Hilderbrand en kan niet wachten tot er weer een nieuwe uitkomt.’ Santa Montefiore ‘Intelligent escapisme met een warm hart.’ Kirkus Reviews ‘Herkenbare familierelaties vermengd met levendige beschrijvingen van het landschap zorgen samen voor een heerlijke leeservaring.’ Library Journal
