Meredith Martin Delinn just lost everything: her friends, her homes, and her social standing, because her husband Freddy cheated rich investors out of billions of dollars.

Desperate and facing homelessness, Meredith receives a call from her old best friend, Constance Flute. Connie’s had recent worries of her own, and the two depart for a summer on Nantucket in an attempt to heal. But the island can’t offer complete escape, and they’re plagued by new and old troubles alike. When Connie’s brother Toby, Meredith’s high school boyfriend, arrives, Meredith must reconcile the differences between the life she is leading and the life she could have had.

Set against the backdrop of a Nantucket summer, Silver Girl delivers a suspenseful story of the power of friendship, the pull of love, and the beauty of forgiveness.

    Boston Globe

  • “The Ponzi scheme that Meredith’s husband was involved in is a perfect setting for our times, and her glam social life had everything under the sun. It was all taken away quickly; so watching her remember the things that made her who she was and the woman she will have to become makes for an enjoyable read.”

    Publishers Weekly

  • “Hilderbrand does a wonderful job of painting a picture of a confused and angry yet lovestruck wife.

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Lark | 2/7/2014

    " I really enjoyed this book and I would have rated it a 5 other than the predictable romance theme of the book, with the complicated relationships of the characters the romances were just too typical of most romance novels "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Deedee | 12/31/2013

    " A mindless beach read where all the characters are totally good or totally bad but if that's what you're in the mood for, this is entertaining enough. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Oceandreamer001 | 12/30/2013

    " I liked this one, perfect beach read. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Sonia Copeskey | 12/30/2013

    " Probably not what really happened between Ruth and Bernie, but an interesting fictionalized take on the situation. LOVE the backdrop of Nantucket. Will definitely read more of her books for easy reading. "

  • 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5 Missy | 12/17/2013

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Andrea Ludwig | 10/4/2013

    " This book was okay, just okay. I wanted to know more about the husband, the criminal who stole people's fortunes by illegally investing their money into a Ponzi scheme. I kept reading, thinking it would tell me more about Frank and his motives and thoughts, but it never did. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Theresa | 10/2/2013

    " If there were a 3.5 stars I would have given it that. It was a typical Hilderbrand chic novel. She wrote a novel putting a character in the situation of going thru what Bernie Madoff's wife might have went thru. It was ok. To me, a bit contrived. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Doris | 9/30/2013

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Kaitlyn Wb | 5/16/2012

    " A bit surreal reading about Ruth Madoff (right down to the anecdote about how she can't get her hair done anymore) but pretty entertaining nonetheless. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Shelly | 4/29/2012

    " Elin Hilderbrand's books are good beach reads - light, don't have to think too much. But this one was better than the others I'd read. The main character is modeled after Bernie Madoff's wife. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Carla | 12/26/2011

    " This one starts out slow and at first I felt like it kept repeating itself. As the story progressed I really started to enjoy it. By the end, I couldn't put it down. Unfortunately I didn't love the ending, but it was probably how it would have played out "in real life". "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Melissa Kayden | 9/6/2011

    " Great book and at first, it was hard to see Meredith as a sympathetic character but as you read more back story, it was easier to believe. Glad to see both characters get their happy ending and to see some recurring island characters from precious books. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Mare | 6/6/2011

    " I picked this book up on vacation to read on the beach. It was well written and kept my interest. I enjoyed the writing so much that I bought and read all of her books in print. Reminds us of putting ourselves in others shoes and not judging. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Miriam | 5/30/2011

    " Fun summer beachy read! Definitely take it with you on vacation. In fact, take all of Elin's books on vacation because you'll want to read one every day. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Pat | 5/23/2011

    " Think Bernie Madoff then his wife, Ruth. Could she possibly not know? This issue is examined in Elin Hulderbrand latest book set, guess where, in Nantucket. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Red | 4/5/2011

    " Another great beach read from Elin Hilderbrand! "

    " This was a great book...very traditional "summer read" by Elin Hilderbrand...but that is exactly what I expect from her...a great story with terrific characters...a little romance a little conflict...and a nice ending wrapped up with a bow :) "
