Dune Road: A Novel

Overview

A sparkling new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Beach House

Jane Green's last novel, The Beach House, was an instant New York Times bestseller and captured her largest audience yet. From the sunny green lawns of Connecticut to the caf?s of London to the sandy beaches of Nantucket, Green draws from her own life to craft each delicious story and the resulting tales resonate with women everywhere.

Dune Road is another fun and fearless adventure that will take Green's many fans from laughter to tears and back again. The novel is set in the beach community of a tony Connecticut town. Our heroine is a single mom who works for a famous--and famously reclusive--novelist. When she stumbles on a secret that the great man has kept hidden for years, she knows that there are plenty of women in town who would love to get their hands on it--including some who fancy the writer for themselves. Dune Road is the story of life in an exclusive beach town after the tourists have left for the summer and the eccentric (and moneyed) community sticks around. Dune Road will surely be the book to pack in beach bags next summer.

Author Information

Bio of Jane Green

Jane Green was a disaster at University, discovered writing soon afterwards, and went on to work as a journalist throughout her twenties, for various national newspapers and magazines in her home town of London. At twenty seven, inspired by Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, she decided to give up her job on the Daily Express, and write a real woman's account of what it was like being single in the city. Luckily it paid off. Three months later she signed her first publishing deal, and Straight Talking, her largely-autobiographical first novel, became a huge bestseller and together with Bridget Jones's Diary launched the phenomenon that came to be known as 'chick lit'. Just after the release of Straight Talking, Jane met her American husband, and two years after that they moved across the Atlantic to Connecticut. Four years and four children later , Jane is currently at work on her eighth novel, preparing to go off on tour around the States for the hardback launch of The Other Woman (March 8th), getting the house ready for Bingo, a lurcher (greyhound cross) who's arriving from Florida in two weeks who will hopefully befriend Palmer, the house dog, looking after four children under the age of five, attempting to clean up the garden before Spring, and thinking of what she can possibly do with chicken breasts for supper tonight again.
