It Happens in the Hamptons

fullDescription

In the Hamptons, the everyday people are as complicated and fascinating as the millionaires...

When Katie Doyle moves across the country to the Hamptons, she is hoping for summer employment, new friends for her young son, and a chance to explore a new love affair with a dazzling investor. What she finds is a strange cocktail of classes, where society's one-percenters vacation alongside local, hard-working people who've lived in the Hamptons for generations. Though she's looking forward to their move, Katie is wary about mingling with her boyfriends' East Coast elite circles. She soon discovers Southampton isn't all that it seems to be on the surface—and neither are the people who live there.

As George takes Katie on a whirlwind tour of country clubs, haute couture, and lavish events, she is amazed to witness sudden whims become dire needs, extra-marital affairs blossoming right and left, and people purchase friends and loyalties like a pair of shoes. Even the middle-class townspeople maintain a determined façade while maneuvering like sharks among the wealthy summer invaders.

The more Katie becomes immersed, the more she learns the secrets of both the upstairs and downstairs, the upper crust and middle of the road. The combustion between the classes becomes explosive as the summer tears on. Betrayals, a sexual predator, and a missing person lost in murky waves drive the listener on a racing Learjet ride through impossible twists and turns until landing at the shocking conclusion. When she meets Luke, a local surfer and middle school teacher, he makes her question what it is she really wants as she understands the life she's begun for herself is built on shifting Hamptons' dunes.

   • content: Narrator Em Eldridge gives the listener a peek at the lives of the beautiful people who summer in the Hamptons alongside the hardworking locals. Katie, a single mother, is caught between both worlds as she dates George, a businessman, but is drawn to Luke, a teacher. Eldridge smoothly brings out Katie's na�vet� as she encounters the elite ladies of the country club. Listeners will be drawn to stand-up Luke while being curious about George's motives for courting Katie. The meticulous descriptions of the wealthy characters' homes, cars, and clothes add to the story's ambiance, but the constant listing of their prices can be tedious. While the sexual encounters are graphic, the plot drags a bit until the last exciting chapters--though Eldridge's narration never falters. S.H. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
