From Macy s
A "captivating and bittersweet" novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Summer of 69: Their secret love affair has lasted for decades but this could be the summer that changes everything (People).When Mallory Blessing s son, Link, receives deathbed instructions from his mother to call a number on a slip of paper in her desk drawer, he s not sure what to expect. But he certainly does not expect Jake McCloud to answer. It s the late spring of 2020 and Jake s wife, Ursula DeGournsey, is the frontrunner in the upcoming Presidential election.There must be a mistake, Link thinks. How do Mallory and Jake know each other? Flash back to the sweet summer of 1993: Mallory has just inherited a beachfront cottage on Nantucket from her aunt, and she agrees to host her brother s bachelor party. Cooper s friend from college, Jake McCloud, attends, and Jake and Mallory form a bond that will persevere through marriage, children, and Ursula s stratospheric political rise until Mallory learns she s dying. Based on the classic film Same Time Next Year (which Mallory and Jake watch every summer), 28 Summers explores the agony and romance of a one-weekend-per-year affair and the dramatic ways this relationship complicates and enriches their lives, and the lives of the people they love.
