From the beloved New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice comes a heartwarming yet heart-wrenching portrait of three far-flung sisters who come home to Martha’s Vineyard one last time to say goodbye to the family beach house. Memories of their grandmother, mother, and their Irish father, who sailed away the year Dar, the oldest, turned twelve, rise up and expose the fine cracks in their family myth—especially when a cache of old letters reveals enough truth to send them back to their ancestral homeland.
Transplanted into the unfamiliar, each sister sees life, her heart, and her relationship to home in a new way. But how do they let go of a place that contains the complicated love of their imperfect family?
The novel is a season on Martha’s Vineyard; a mission to Ireland; a memorable cast of friends, including one wildly off-the-grid Zen genius; passionate love in the surf; and three very different sisters whose lives are filled with beauty, sorrow, and deep love they’d never been sure they could trust. The Silver Boat is Luanne Rice at her very best.
Luanne Rice returns to Viking with a novel as timeless as the sea on which it’s set. Coming April 5, 2011

I just finish reading this book…first one of your books I ever read. I could not put it down. So enjoy your way of expressing words, lives of these people. Is there going to be another book coming out with these same characters? How di I know what book to read next? Is there a way to understand which one to read,because I just check out Summer of Roses…because like the title and cover of that book..and read that it said “revisiting….” Should I start with your first book? What is that name?
