February Book – Swan Song by Elin Hilderbrand is the grand finale to her beloved Nantucket series, wrapping up the beachy, drama-filled world she’s built over many novels. The story follows Ed Kapenash, the island’s police chief on the brink of retirement, whose plans are disrupted when a wealthy couple’s mansion burns down, and their personal assistant goes missing.
As Ed investigates, the novel weaves together personal secrets, community gossip, and the luxurious yet often tumultuous lives of Nantucket’s residents. With familiar characters and a rich setting, Swan Song offers a captivating mix of mystery, relationships, and the charm of a tight-knit island community.

The Vista Womens Book Club February selection is “Swan Song” by Elin Hilderbrand.Many of our members are familiar with the author and the story location in Nantucket. Iconcur that this book is a page turner and a great book to take to the beach, read onvacation, or dip into in your spare time during the day. There are current contemporarytopics, beach scenes, the wealthy newcomers, the snooty locals and a final casebefore Chief Police Ed’s retirement. The newcomers Richardson’s $22 million summerhome goes up in flames while the Richardsons were out on their yacht for a lavishcelebration, and the big mystery is their personal assistant Coco is missing from theyacht.The book was full of lavish parties and beach swims with the locals and the verywealthy.The book mentions some of the swanky cocktail food served along with some creativeparty decorations – a detail I found fascinating.We welcome new members to our book group. If you have not finished the book, cometo our book meeting anyway. I bring the previous books we have read and they areavailable to borrow if you are interested.One benefit of our group is that we are getting to know each other and have some greatstories to share. It is important in life to get out, socialize, laugh and shareexperiences.Thanks to Liz to bringing the Hobnob cookies that were mentioned in our January bookselection. Very tasty.

March Book – North Woods by Daniel Mason
The novel’s events span a period from the mid-1600s to the present day and transpire against the backdrop of a single location: a fictional region of western Massachusetts known simply as the “north woods”. Many different characters inhabit this spot, first in a rustic cabin and later in a yellow house built next to the cabin. The text tells the stories of each generation largely through limited third-person narration from the perspective of the principal character living there during a particular era. Some segments of the novel unfold through first-person narration in the form of letters or memoranda written by the main character of a particular section. The book follows the lives of a varied set of characters over a broad swath of US history.

April 2026 – Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger
This book is a mystery and coming-of-age novel narrated from the perspective of Frank Drum and set in Minnesota. The plot centers on a series of deaths that strike the fictional town of New Bremen in 1961. For thirteen-year-old Frank Drum it was a grim summer in which death visited frequently and assumed many forms. Accident. Nature. Suicide. Murder.
Told from Frank’s perspective forty years after that fateful summer, Ordinary Grace is a brilliantly moving account of a boy standing at the door of his young manhood, trying to understand a world that seems to be falling apart around him. It is an unforgettable novel about discovering the terrible price of wisdom and the enduring grace of faith.
