‘Hotel Nantucket’ author Elin Hilderbrand to sign books June 19

Author Elin Hilderbrand will be at Browseabout Books live and in person to sign and personalize copies of her latest book, “The Hotel Nantucket,” at 2 p.m., Sunday, June 19.

Each $29 ticket includes one signed copy of “The Hotel Nantucket.” Line placement is on a first-come basis, and line formation will begin at 1 p.m.

Filled with the emotional tension and multiple points of view that characterize Hilderbrand's books “The Blue Bistro” and “Golden Girl,” as well as an added touch of historical reality, “The Hotel Nantucket” offers something for everyone in this summer drama for the ages.

After a tragic fire in 1922 that killed 19-year-old chambermaid Grace Hadley, the Hotel Nantucket descended from a gilded-age gem to a mediocre, budget-friendly lodge and inevitably an abandoned eyesore – until it was purchased and renovated top to bottom by Xavier Darling, a London billionaire. Darling hires Nantucket local Lizbet Keaton as his general manager, and Lizbet, in turn, pulls together a charismatic if inexperienced staff who share the vision of turning around the fate of the hotel. They face challenges in getting along with one another and with the guests, in overcoming the hotel's bad reputation, and in surviving the (mostly) harmless shenanigans of Grace Hadley herself, who won't stop haunting the hotel until her murder is acknowledged.

The shop will have all of Hilderbrand’s books available for purchase before and during the event, and she will sign any of her books that readers purchase from Browseabout. She will stay as long as necessary to make sure everyone gets a signed book.

Browseabout will follow whatever COVID protocols the CDC is recommending at the time of the event.

For those who cannot attend the signing, the Browseabout team will be happy to have an autographed, but not personalized, copy held or shipped via USPS, with a $5 flat shipping fee in the continental United States.

Ticket holders have the first opportunity to purchase the exclusive, limited-edition “Hotel Nantucket” earrings and necklace created just for this event
