My Thoughts On The Book:  I took this book to the beach with me last week because of the title. I thought it would be a good beach read that would last several days.  A little sunburn and a good restful day later the book was completed.  I could not put it down.  I even found myself searching for a Bach house where I was.  I imagined the houses we past as the house in the book.  It was a really good read for those who love stories in a beach setting. If you are a regular beach goer you can definitely relate to the power of the setting and the unfolding of the  characters lives as they gather at the Beach House to share their life situations. Each story has same themes threaded through them.   Any beach goer can see themselves at the Brach House.  I would love to find myself there too.
