Summer Reading @ The Merrick Library


Some more cool reads for hot days…


 The Shoemaker’s Wife, by Adriana Trigiani
This irresistible love story is an intricately woven tapestry of love and family, war and loss, risk and destiny.  We follow the star-crossed lovers Enza, a practical beauty, and Ciro, a strapping mountain boy, who, after their first meeting in the Italian Alps, find their destinies inexplicably entwined as they build their lives in America.
 

Beautiful Ruins, by Jess Walter
You won’t want to miss this romantic and enjoyable novel! The story follows a young Italian innkeeper and his almost-love affair with a beautiful American starlet. He is drawn into a glittering world filled with unforgettable characters.


 
Another Piece of My Heart, by Jane Green
From the New York Times bestselling author of Jemima J, and The Beach House, comes Jane Green's most emotional and powerful novel yet: a story that explores the complications of a woman marrying into a ready-made family, and the true meaning of motherhood.



The Innocents, by Francesca Segal
In a small, tight-knit Jewish suburb of London, one young man’s pre-wedding panic illuminates the universal conflict between responsibility and passion.  This is a lively and entertaining debut by Segal.
