Big Books of 2026
Claudia asked this question about That Summer:
Did anyone notice a minor inconsistency: There are few references to the Emlen boys being class of 1987, and age-wise it checks out with their being 51 in 2019. But, then there are passages about reunions happening in 1990 and 1995, which would suggest a grad year of 1985, not 1987. Did I miss something or is it editor/author error?

When Daisy sees the picture of Diana with her husband (towards the end of the book) she acts like she has never seen him despite telling Diana earlier that she knew him-because he was their caretaker. And there are two characters in the book named Julia (A girl at Beatrice's school and Daisy's Sister-in-Law.) I find so many of her books to be this sloppy. How can an author of this caliber not have better editors??(less)
