Silver Girl: A Novel

Silver Girl: A Novel by Hilderbrand, Elin. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780316178150.

Meredith Martin Delinn just lost everything: her friends, her homes, her social standing — because her husband Freddy cheated rich investors out of billions of dollars. Desperate and facing homelessness, Meredith receives a call from her old best friend, Constance Flute. Connies had recent worries of her own, and the two depart for a summer on Nantucket in an attempt to heal. But the island cant offer complete escape, and theyre plagued by new and old troubles alike. When Connies brother Toby — Merediths high school boyfriend — arrives, Meredith must reconcile the differences between the life she is leading and the life she could have had. Set against the backdrop of a Nantucket summer, Elin Hilderbrand delivers a suspenseful story of the power of friendship, the pull of love, and the beauty of forgiveness. “Clearly the Madoff family inspired this plot, but Hilderbrand gives it her own sun-kissed, optimistic spin — which is not to say it’s all Rosa rugosa, just that there’s a silver lining to the ugliest of circumstances.” —Elisabeth Egan, New York Times
