![]() And after her job as the director of a local museum is threatened, Ruthie finally decides to fight back. ![]() But soon Adeline demonstrates an uncanny ability to help herself to Ruthie’s life-her house, her friends, even her husband (okay, ex-husband, but still). The widow of a blue-chip artist, Adeline Clay is elegant, connected, and accompanied by a “gorgeous satellite” stepson. ![]() It’s Memorial Day weekend and Ruthie has packed up their belongings for what Jem calls “the summer bummer”: the family’s annual exodus to make way for renters. The catch? To afford the house, Ruthie must let it go during the best part of the year. Lovingly renovated, located by the sea in a quiet Long Island village, the house is her nest egg-the retirement account shared with her ex-husband, Mike, and the college fund for their teenage daughter, Jem. No matter what the world throws her way, at least Ruthie Beamish has the house. ![]() The Hamptons hath no fury like a woman scorned. “A shimmering story of art, money, and celebrity, The High Season is wicked summer fun.”-Helen Simonson, New York Times bestselling author of Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand ![]()
