Audiobook giveaway - The Castaways by Elin Hilderbrand



Thanks to Anna and Hatchette Books Group, we can give away 3 audiobooks of The Castaways by Elin Hilderbrand.

About the Book, courtesy of the publisher:

Greg and Tess MacAvoy are one of four prominent Nantucket couples who count each other as best friends. As pillars of their close-knit community, the MacAvoys, Kapenashes, Drakes, and Wheelers are important to their friends and neighbors, and especially to each other. But just before the beginning of another idyllic summer, Greg and Tess are killed when their boat capsizes during an anniversary sail. As the warm weather approaches and the island mourns their loss, nothing can prepare the MacAvoy's closest friends for what will be revealed.

Once again, Hilderbrand masterfully weaves an intense tale of love and loyalty set against the backdrop of endless summer island life.

About the Author, courtesy of the publisher:

Elin Hilderbrand lives on Nantucket with her husband and their three young children. She grew up in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, and traveled extensively before settling on Nantucket, which has been the setting for her five previous novels. Hilderbrand is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University and the graduate fiction workshop at the University of Iowa.

  1. During my summer vacations in jr. high, I would spend my days reading on my front porch. I'd wake up early and stay out as long as I could after the sun went down.

    Thanks for this contest.

  3. I would spend a week at my grandma's during the summer. We'd hang out, work in her garden and walk to town. I'd always look forward to spending time with her. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  5. I remember going camping with my family as a child and my friend, Terri came with us sometimes. On this occasion, Terri and I were riding our bikes through the campground and I turned around and she was gone. I went back to look for her and found her lying in a raspberry bush with her bike on top of her and she said she was "eating strawberries".
