SUMMER HEARTACHE Renting a summer house on North Carolina's Marble Island seemed like the sensible thing to do for Caryn Edwards. She was certain it would give her a chance to heal from her ugly divorce and recover from a bad case of career burn-out as a home economics teacher. What she didn't bargain for was handsome developer Logan Prescott who would unexpectedly be sharing the house with her. But Logan had his own demons to deal with, and no intention of letting Caryn distract him -- even if she was the most tempting and beautiful woman he'd ever met. SUMMER LOVE But in the weeks that followed, Caryn and Logan's mutual distrust dissolved, replaced by a slowly simmering desire. And when they shared one night of abandoned ecstasy, they could no longer resist the warmth they'd felt in each other's arms. Now with summer coming to a close, they must decide if their passion was only the heat of the moment...or a magical love that can take them to horizons they've only dreamed of...

Celebrating 50 years of Tove Jansson's classic, bestselling novel Featured in the BBC 2 Between the Covers Bookclub Special (Eurovision series 2023) 'Distils the essence of summer' Robert Macfarlane 'Magical, life-affirming' Elizabeth Gilbert The Worldwide Classic about a tiny island and larger love. An elderly artist and her six-year-old grand-daughter while away a summer together on a tiny island in the gulf of Finland. As the two learn to adjust to each other's fears, whims and yearnings, a fierce yet understated love emerges - one that encompasses not only the summer inhabitants but the very island itself. Written in a clear, unsentimental style, full of brusque humour, and wisdom, The Summer Book is a profoundly life-affirming story.

Includes a 15pp epilogue by Tove's niece Sophia Jansson - the inspiration for 'Sophia' - on a personal and moving return to the island. 'Eccentric, funny, wise, full of joys and small adventures. This is a book for life.' Esther Freud 'Tove Jansson was a genius. This is a marvellous, beautiful, wise novel, which is also very funny.' Philip Pullman
