âA mesmerizing, head-spinningâand sometimes madcap-hilariousâtake of have and have-nots.ââPeople (Book of the Week)
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BYÂ REAL SIMPLE AND KIRKUS REVIEWSÂ âĒÂ âIn the smart, breezy, sweet spot between Meg Wolitzer and Elin Hilderbrand.ââEntertainment Weekly
No matter what the world throws her way, at least Ruthie Beamish has the house. Located by the sea in a quiet Long Island village, the house is her nest eggâthe retirement account shared with her ex-husband, Mike, and the college fund for their teenage daughter, Jem. The catch? To afford the house, Ruthie must let it go during the best part of the year.
Itâs Memorial Day weekend and the start of what Jem calls âthe summer bummerâ: the familyâs annual exodus to make way for renters. This year, the Hamptons set has arrived. Adeline Clay is elegant and connectedâand will never need to worry about money. Before long, she demonstrates an uncanny ability to help herself to Ruthieâs life. Is Adeline just being her fabulous self, or is she out to take what she wants?
When an eccentric billionaire, his wayward daughter, a coterie of social climbers, and Ruthieâs old flame are thrown into the mix, the entire town finds itself on the verge of tumultuous change. But as Ruthie loses her grasp on her job, her home, and her family, she discovers a new talent for pushing back. By the end of one unhinged, unforgettable summer, nothing will be the sameâleast of all Ruthie.
Praise for The High Season
âBlundell knows the territory. . . . Her account of Ruthieâs coming to grips with a career, a daughter and a community in flux is as touching as it is convincing.ââThe Wall Street Journal
âA huge page-turner . . . so compelling . . . a classic beach read, but very smart, very intelligently written.ââUs Weekly, Emily Giffinâs Summer Reading Recommendations
âAn acid-laced domestic drama set during one golden summer on the moneyed, beachy North Fork of Long Island.ââThe New York Times
âJudy Blundell wields words like an oyster knife in this shimmering story of art, money, and celebrity.ââHelen Simonson, New York Times bestselling author of The Summer Before the War
âA wry, often hilarious story of a woman trying to keep it together when everything is going so, so wrong.ââReal Simple
