Summer of ''69


 

“Summer of ‘69” by Elin Hilderbrand

Published by Little, Brown and Company

 

This is one family’s story, taking place in the summer of 1969.  The only son is fighting in Vietnam, one daughter is adjusting to married life and pregnant, one daughter is spreading her wings to find her own identity, and the youngest daughter is starting puberty, dealing with everything that comes with it.  They each have a storyline, as well as the mother and grandmother, and they are all woven together with a little bit of politics thrown in for no real reason.  For me, it was just an OK read. Some would probably categorize it as a beach/vacation read.

 

Finished 5/17/25 – 3/5 stars
