CHESTNUT HILL, MA — Hummingbird Books at The Street Chestnut Hill will welcome New York Times Best Selling Author Elin Hilderbrand on Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. to discuss her new book, “Endless Summer.”

In "Endless Summer," Hilderbrand revisits her most iconic characters in a collection of stories. Collected in a single volume for the first time, “Endless Summer" ranges from fan favorites to original, never-before-seen works.

In “The Surfing Lesson,” the marriage at the heart of "Beautiful Day" crosses uncertain territory when Margot Carmichael encourages her husband to reunite with his ex-girlfriend. The legendary weekend of a Harvard-Yale football game in “The Tailgate” recharts the course of "The Matchmaker” Dabney Kimball’s first—and abiding—true love. And in a brand-new novella, “Summer of ’89,” readers reconnect with the Levin sisters, whose distant adult lives collide once again at a tumultuous family reunion on Nantucket.
