Summer Shift
A beach read pick for Woman's Day and The New York Post!
"After her debut, Some Assembly Required, Bonasia once again mines her Cape Cod upbringing with a cast of coastal smalltown characters...Bonasia delivers a delightful...story of love and redemption." Publishers Weekly (4/26)
Join 44-year-old restaurant owner Mary Hopkins on a life-altering journey that takes place over the course of a Cape Cod summer. Early in the season, a young waitress dies, stirring up Mary’s own past and bringing a lost love––perhaps the greatest of her life––back into her world. Experience the chaos cooked up in the kitchen of a local clam bar. And sample the local fare with a few recipes. (2010 Touchstone, Simon & Schuster) Learn more.
Some Assembly Required
A "quirky and winning" debut novel about 39-year old Rose Nowak, a love-scorned technical writer who throws away her instruction manuals to start over in a Cape Cod town where circumstances, and even the locals, are not what they seem. (Touchstone, Simon & Schuster 2008) Learn more.
