Summary: Just an OK book
Review: After reading "Places By The Sea" I was very disappoined in this book. It's an easy read, but was too prdictable. Also I felt it was loosely based on the Kennedy's life. It is not one I will keep to re-read as I have with "Places By The Sea". However I will try more books by Jean Stone.

Summary: WONDERFUL
Review: I have been a fan of Jean Stone's from the first. Her books are always wonderful and never a disappointment. She has done it again with the Summer House. The storyline very believable. The plot twist terrific. A page turner from the first. If you have not read her books before after this one you will want to read them all.

Summary: Don't bother
Review: I started this book yesterday afternoon--and finished it an hour or so later. That is, I spent about 40 minutes actually reading the first 60 pages, then skimmed the rest to see if it seemed to get any better. It didn't. Stone has a wooden hand with dialogue and a melodramatic approach to character and plot. She goes on my "avoid" list.

Summary: Intriguing and Absorbing
Review: The Summer House is an intriguing story, filled with surprising twists and turns, which keeps the reader on-edge until the end! This is not a mush and gush romantic tale - but one of love and lost love. The heroine, Liz Adams, sacrifices herself for her father's wishes, dreams, and commands. Liz lives her life based on the decisions her father makes for her, as well as for her three other siblings. All of their lives become intertwined when Liz's husband, Michael, runs for the Presidency and even more so, when their patriarch dies and Liz is left to confront the façade and charade she has lived, and the love that she yearned for and could not have.This tale had many characters, and all were equally interesting but not to the point of confusion - a nice mix and balance. This story kept me guessing and I would really love to see a sequel to this book!! Too many unanswered questions and too many open-ended issues left in the book! This is my first book by Jean Stone and I would enthusiastically recommended this book to other readers. I am now in search of her other books to absorb!
