The Island by Elin Hilderbrand

This is a great relationship book. The relationship between sisters, between mothers and daughters, between aunts and nieces - and then there are few men that creep into the story too! Birdie is a newly divorced woman who is spending lots of time and money planning the wedding of her daughter Chess. It surprised Birdie that Chess is letting her do that because they aren't very close. But in the middle of the preparations Chess breaks off her engagement. No one can understand why - especially her fiance Michael. Then Michael goes off a climbing vacation with his brother and is killed when he falls. Chess is devastated. Birdie talks her into going to Tuckernuck, an island near Nantucket. Tuckernuck was left to Birdie by her parents and she hasn't been there for a long time, but it was the place she most loved to go when she was growing up. They end up being joined by Birdie's younger daughter, Tate, and Birdie's sister, India. Throughout the book we hear from everybody about what is really going on. It was a great book and I highly recommend it!
