Summer House

Author(s): Georgina Moore

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): Contemporary

The night of their christening, twins Teddy and Elliott are abandoned by their mother Mira, who runs away with ‘the man in the white suit’ for a life on the other side of the ocean.

Then, in the summer they turn sixteen, an invitation arrives asking them to join Mira at Summer House, her Hamptons home by the sea. Teddy is a bookish dreamer who longs to know her glamorous mother better, determined to become the daughter Mira would want, while Elliott, fiercely bright and protective of his sister, is more cautious.

At first, Summer House is everything Teddy dreamed of and the days pass in a haze of beach picnics, new friends, glamorous gatherings into the night – as the twins try to navigate Mira’s tempestuous behaviour and fit into her world. But the arrival of charismatic Jude Scott changes everything…

It only takes one summer to fall in love, and two summers to break the bond between Teddy and Elliott. It might take a lifetime for them to find their way back to being a family again.
