"An engrossing tale of an iconic American summer"--People
Magazine
"Hilderbrand's books keep getting better and
better."--Bookreporter
"Hilderbrand's characters are utterly convincing and immediately
draw us into their problems, from petty to grave...To use the
parlance of the period, a highly relevant retrospective."
--Kirkus
"HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Hilderbrand's first foray into historical
fiction will rouse curiosity in new readers as well as devotees of
her annual summer smashes."--Susan Maguire, Booklist

completely satisfying novel that is the beach read of the summer,
sure to appeal to Hilderbrand's fans while earning her new readers.
A must buy."--The Library Journal
"Overall this novel is an entertaining bagatelle . . . There won't
be a single transistor radio this summer on Singing Beach in
Manchester-by-the-Sea, nor on Madaket Beach in Nantucket. But there
almost certainly will be multiple copies of Summer of '69. It's
this year's beach-reading cure for . . . the summertime
blues."--The Boston Globe

Simple, sassy, and continuously engaging, Summer of '69 fits neatly
into the nostalgic reader's beach bag."--NPR

tightly knit family, and this crowd-pleaser is sure to satisfy both
her fans and newcomers alike."--Publishers Weekly, starred
review
"The grande dame of beach reads...Hilderbrand shifts among
characters with her usual ease, weaving a saga that will make you
forget the dynamics of your own dysfunctional people as you crowd
into a too-small vacation rental."--Liz Egan, New York Times Book
Review
"With vivid descriptions of the songs, fashions and other details
of the era woven throughout, it's a true nostalgia trip."--AARP
