The Guest Book by Sarah Blake


Ogden Milton originally purchased Crockett Island, in Maine, as a symbol of "what made them Miltons." Three generations of Miltons have now spent every summer on their island. What will time, with its many secrets, reveal about what the Miltons were really made of?

I enjoyed this book very much, although for the first 100 pages or so I found it hard to keep track of who was who (especially Evelyn and Evie).  I would have preferred dates or names to change storylines, rather than the chapter breaks.  Racism, social standing, and the roles society expected men and women to play are all explored here.  I gave this book 4 stars.
