Swan Song

"Swan Song is a clever and, ultimately, moving multilayered narrative in which the various social worlds of Nantucket mingle, crash and burn."—Maureen Corrigan, The Wall Street Journal

"Hilderbrand's final Nantucket novel will draw old and new readers out of the woodwork . . . There are plenty of Easter eggs for longtime fans, but even those diving in to her exquisite writing for the first time are in for a treat: a story that feels like it's being told over cocktails at the Oystercatcher, perfectly paced for maximum drama with characters you can't get enough of. This is aspirational escapism at its finest."
 —Susan Maguire, Booklist (starred review)

“Hilderbrand closes out her long run of Nantucket novels with an engrossing story of three mysterious newcomers…Strong characterizations and delicious moments of tension make this a worthy note to end on. Readers will be riveted.”—Publishers Weekly

“A stranger comes to town, and a beloved storyteller plays this creative-writing standby for all it’s worth.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Elin Hilderbrand is the doyen of the beach read, the queen of all things sun, fun, and intrigue, one of the best to ever do it, and Swan Song is the cleverly titled final installment of her popular Nantucket series . . . You’ll see all your old favorite characters from the previous Nantucket novels, and this final act is chock-full of all Hilderbrand’s hallmarks, from family drama to romance."—Harper's Bazaar

“Hilderbrand is exiting on a high with this dramatic tale featuring a recently arrived, ostentatiously wealthy family whose presence sets off strange happenings, including a possible murder.”—Christina Ianzito, AARP
