THE SUMMER WE READ GATSBY

Two half sisters are desperately searching for something valuable in the ramshackle Southampton cottage left to them by their aunt. Without such a discovery they won’t be able to afford their inheritance. Could the unsigned painting over the fireplace be an original Jackson Pollock or the volume of THE GREAT GATSBY a first edition? Justine Eyre lightheartedly narrates the story of Peck and Cassie’s summer experiences in their beach community, where they attend arty parties and rekindle relationships—especially their own. Justine Eyre’s narration is whimsical and entertaining—although her character interpretations lack authenticity. Even so, the story is engaging, and there’s lots of listening fun to be had.
