“FOR DOCK LOVERS AND DAYDREAMERS”
A tender, funny, heartbreaking new summer novel set in Muskoka, Canada's Hamptons—for lovers of Elin Hilderbrand, Carly Fortune and Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeny.
One wealthy family. One beautiful cottage. Many summers of secrets. More than a decade after tragedy strikes, Colin Montgomery returns to Wynward Cottage to spend one last summer with the marvelous Miss Elizabeth. As a child, he was saved by the Wynward family. Ultimately it’s Colin who saves the Wynwards.
Shy, orphaned Colin Montgomery appears to finally have it all: an ivy-league education, a century-old, lakeside cottage in Muskoka, and a benefactor in the marvelous “Miss Elizabeth” Wynward, the shrewd, champagne-swilling mistress of Pittsburgh’s Wynward Steel.
Colin spends idyllic summers of the 1970s alongside the spirited yet troubled Wynward grandchildren. They swim, they sail, they fall in love, they ride in glossy wooden launches. But when tragedy strikes, the Wynwards are ripped away from the lake, away from each other. Fifteen years later, with the grand lady’s health failing, it’s up to Colin to bring them together. With help from old family photographs, he must take on the charming force that is Miss Elizabeth to unravel family secrets and uncover what really happened. By welcoming him into the family as a child, the Wynwards rescued Colin. Ultimately it’s Colin who rescues the Wynwards.
PRAISE FOR SUMMERS WITH MISS ELIZABETH!
“For dock lovers and daydreamers.”
—Wendie Donabie, Muskoka Artist
“This novel is a must-read, powerful tour de force. Knowles skillfully explores the strength and fragility of the human condition, effortlessly weaving themes of love & loss, family, class, and the destructive power of secrets. The writing is rich and lush, taking you on a compelling whirlwind journey of discovery that will leave you breathless.”
—Cindy Watson, award-winning and best-selling author of The Art of Feminine Negotiation and Out of Darkness
“With unforgettable characters, Summers With Miss Elizabeth is an emotionally charged saga in which to lose yourself.
—Beverley Brewer, author of Dance Into The Light: a memoir
“Knowles vividly populates the world of ‘old-money summer people’ with engaging characters, including Grand Dame Miss Elizabeth, Colin, Josie, Tim, and Alex…we’re invited into their enchanting yet troubling world.”
—Wendy Truscott, author of Dead Serious and Haunted Journey
"A classic, coming-of-age story of growing self-awareness and proving one's worth. As a misfit surrounded by opulent wealth, Colin unravels a mystery that clouds the Wynwards’ past. The richness of the characters and the deliciousness of the imagery in Summers with Miss Elizabeth feeds your read like the clink of ice in a cool drink on a hot summer day."
—Sherry Rondeau, author of Dear Braveheart
“Knowles perfectly captures the timelessness of Muskoka summers and the magic of life at the cottage while seamlessly contrasting it with societal and personal dramas… easily a must-read summer novel.”
—Kaitlyn Sutey, Book Editor, MuskokaStyle.com
