I have seen Dorothea Benton Frank's novels, of course. I've ordered them for our library! I have never read one until now, though, and I am excited to read more. There is enough depth to her characters and their relationships to keep you interested, and it is, quite frankly, refreshing to read about people who are truly and realistically in love with each other.
Olivia is a high-end interior designer who has agreed to move from new York City to South Carolina's Low Country with her retired history professor husband, Nick. Moving back to the South of his childhood has been a longtime dream of Nick's, but what he doesn't know is that with the move Olivia's client base is drying up and their finances have become precarious.
All Summer Long is filled with exotic locales, a glimpse into the lives of the rich and famous, a lovely sense of place, and several interesting story lines. Some of the characters are ridiculous, but the central theme revolves around commitment to marriage, communication, and loyalty. I really enjoyed this novel and would recommend it as a great vacation read.
