That place has been my whole life Everything I thought I knew about myself was constructed in those few months I spent within touching distance of the sea Everything I am is because Alistair loved me

Rachel has been in love with Alistair since she was seventeen Even though she hasnt seen him for sixteen years and shes now married to someone else Even though she was a teenager when they met Even though he is twenty years older than her Shes found it impossible to forget their summer together on a remote suntrapped Greek island Until now

When Rachel unexpectedly reconnects with a girl that she knew back then she is forced to reexamine her memories of that golden summer and confront the truth about her relationship with Alistair and about her time working for an enigmatic and wealthy man on the island And when Alistair returns the pull of the past could prove impossible to resist

The Girls of Summer is a compulsive and searching exploration of the complicated nature of memory and trauma power and consent victimhood and shame
