“The Summer Of Songbirds” has already garnered recognition from Good Morning America, the New York Times, and others as another in a long series of big hits for Harvey. Book clubs everywhere are raving about it, and Harvey has certainly earned herself more than a few new fans in the process. Will you be one of them?

The novel, which can be found at most major literary retailers as well as on Harvey’s website, was inspired by the author’s childhood and, as such, has been celebrated as an authentic, heartfelt entry into her bibliography. The novel is the tenth of Harvey’s main releases, and was a hotly anticipated summer release (pun intended?) thanks in part to the announcement of the upcoming screen adaptation of her “Peachtree Bluff” series.

The story follows a summer camp owner from Harvey’s home state of North Carolina, whose financial and personal troubles put her work in jeopardy. As you read, you will follow the stories of three former campers, now grown and facing their own challenges - some spicier than others - as they band together to help the woman responsible for forming the foundation of their long-held friendship.

As many reviewers have stated, the narrative is penned in the poignant but ultimately heartwarming prose that Harvey has become known for over the course of her career.

One such review stated, “Overall, The Summer of Songbirds is a sophisticated, sensitive, romantic tale by Harvey that once again highlights her innate ability to delve into all the psychological and emotional dynamics that exist between friends and reminds us just how meaningful, important, and powerful female friendships can truly be.”

The feel-good nature of the work has made it popular among reading groups - especially those focused on the appreciation of women’s fiction - across the country.
