El. knyga: Gin & Chowder Club

Set against the backdrop of Cape Cod, this powerful novel of friendship, longing and love follows Noelle Shepherd, the much younger wife of Nate, who engages in a secret affair with the college-bound son of her husband's best friend that has far-reaching consequences. Original.

The friendship between the Coleman and Shepherd families is challenged when Noelle, Nate Shepherd's new, younger wife, finds a growing attraction to the Colemans' college-bound son Asa.

The friendship between the Coleman and Shepherd families is as old and comfortable as the neighboring houses they occupy each summer on Cape Cod. Samuel and Sarah Coleman love those warm months by the water; the evenings spent on their porch, enjoying gin and tonics, good conversation and homemade clam chowder. Here they’ve watched their sons, Isaac and Asa, grow into fine young men, and watched, too, as Nate Shepherd, aching with grief at the loss of his first wife, finally found love again with the much younger Noelle.

But beyond the surface of these idyllic gatherings, the growing attraction between Noelle and handsome, college-bound Asa threatens to upend everything. In spite of her guilt and misgivings, Noelle is drawn into a reckless secret affair with far-reaching consequences. And over the course of one bittersweet, unforgettable summer, Asa will learn more than he ever expected about love—the joys and heartache it awakens in us, the lengths we’ll go to keep it, and the countless ways it can change our lives forever…
