      Letné mesiace na čarokrásnom ostrove Nantucket sú neodmysliteľne späté so svadbami – nevesty na uliciach sú tu rovnako bežným javom ako západ slnka. Svadba medzi rodinami Winburyovcov a Otisovcov mala byť udalosťou leta: luxusné pobrežné sídlo, nádherná nevesta, bohatý ženích a pozvaní hostia z tých najvyšších spoločenských kruhov. No len niekoľko hodín pred obradom dôjde k tragédii – oceán vyplaví telo bez známok života. Všetci svadobčania sa zrazu stávajú podozrivými a každý z nich ukrýva nejaké tajomstvo. Policajný náčelník Ed Kapenash začína vypočúvať nevestu, ženícha, jeho matku – slávnu autorku detektívnych románov –, mocného otca rodiny a ostatných svadobčanov, aby zistil, čo sa stalo. Ukazuje sa, že každá svadba ukrýva nečakané pravdy a žiaden pár nie je dokonalý. Elin Hilderbrandová je právom označovaná za kráľovnú plážového čítania, keďže vo svojich románoch bravúrne prepletá romantiku s napätím. Tento New York Times bestseller sa stal predlohou pre úspešný seriál na Netflixe, v ktorom hviezdi Nicole Kidman a Liev Schreiber.

      Nashquitten, Massachusetts, is a coastal enclave that not even tourist season can revive, full of locals who have run the town's industries for generations. When a young woman dies at a house party, the circumstances around her death suspiciously unclear, the tight-knit community is shaken. As a mother grieves her daughter, a teacher her student, a best friend her confidante, the events around the tragedy become a lightning rod: blame is cast, secrets are buried deeper. Some are left to pick up the pieces, while others turn their backs, and all the while, a truth about that dreadful night begins to emerge. Told through the eyes of ten local women, Alina Grabowski's Women and Children First is an exquisite portrait of grief and a powerful reminder of life's interconnectedness. Touching on womanhood, class, sexuality, ambition, disappointment, and tragedy, this novel is a stunning rendering of love and loss, and a bracing lesson from a phenomenal new literary talent.
