Sobre este título
In this moving debut novel, set over the course of one transformative summer in the lush, beachy enclave of Block Island, a young woman reckons with love, loss, and the choices she must make to move forward.
At seventeen, Ruth lost her mother to cancer, and her father, unable to handle his grieving daughter, shipped her off to Block Island with nothing but a name scribbled on the back of a receipt: Diana Beckett. Diana, a renowned photographer, took Ruth in for the summer, and Block Island became Ruth’s refuge, a place of beauty and creativity, a place where she could nurture her dreams of being a writer, a place where she could fall in love for the first time—with Diana’s nephew, Charlie.
Now, at twenty-seven, Ruth has spent the last ten summers living and working among the lucky few who get to vacation in this wealthy beach town, and the rest of the year just scraping by, yearning to return to the place where she feels safe and unburdened. But then Ruth’s world is upended by tragedy again. Desperate for an anchor, she reaches for the person she’s been pining for since she met him—Charlie—who has his own startling revelation to share. And when another surprise comes in the form of a box left to Ruth by Diana, its contents raise questions about just how well she knew the two women who raised her. Torn between what to believe about her past, and what her future might hold, Ruth is faced with another choice: does she dare to rewrite her story entirely?
Both a heartfelt coming-of-age story and a tender exploration of love and grief, set against a backdrop of golden dunes and seaside sunsets, June Baby shows us what it might look like to embrace a life shaped not by loss, but by possibility.
Resumo da Crítica
“Amid white sand dunes and star-kissed nights, Shannon Garvey’s tender debut aches with longing as it explores how sometimes the idea of love can outlast love itself. With prose as resonant as a ship’s bell and twists that will keep you on the edge of your beach towel, June Baby is a layered, hopeful meditation on grief, second chances, and the home found within each of us . . . A sun-splashed, thought-provoking holiday between two covers.”—Emma Brodie, author of Songs in Ursa Major
“This absorbing novel is a real find. Shannon Garvey is a writer of depth and vivid detail, and I was swept away by this story of Ruth’s breathless summer of decision. This is an honest examination of the choices a young woman faces—of love, friendship, and vocation—that feels fresh and alive.”—Judy Blundell, author of The High Season
