Mustique Island

Más información sobre el libro

"It's January 1972, but the sun is white-hot when Willy May Michael's boat first kisses the dock of Mustique Island. Tucked in to the southernmost curve of the Caribbean, Mustique is a private island that has become a haven for the wealthy and privileged. Its owner is the eccentric British playboy Colin Tennant, who is determined to turn this speck of white sand into a luxurious neocolonial retreat for his rich friends and into a royal court in exile for the Queen's rebellious sister, Princess Margaret-one where Her Royal Highness can skinny-dip, party, and entertain lovers away from the public eye. Willy May, a former beauty queen from Texas-who is also no stranger to marital scandals-seeks out Mustique for its peaceful isolation. Determine to rebuild her life and her relationships with her two daughters-Hilly, a model, and Joanne, a musician-she constructs a fanciful beach house across the island from Princess Margaret and finds herself pulled into the island's inner circle of aristocrats, rock stars, and hangers-on. When Willy May's daughters arrive, they discover that beneath its veneer of decadence, Mustique has a dark side, and like sand caught in the undertow, their mother-daughter story will shift and resettle in ways they never could have imagined" -- Front jacket flap
