Summary

Where the Summer Lives is a tender and evocative novel about the ties that bind us across oceans, time, and memory. When Brazilian writer Maya Martins accepts an invitation to a small coastal town to work at the enchanting bookstore P墔inas de Sal, she doesn't expect to find more than sun, sand, and a few forgotten stories. But what she discovers - hidden manuscripts, unlikely friendships, and a love that builds bridges instead of walls - will reshape her world.

As Maya uncovers a web of secrets connecting the bookstore to political exiles, old love letters, and a mysterious list written by a girl named Lia, she embarks on a journey that will take her from Brazil to Portugal and back again - all while learning that some stories never end. They just wait for the right person to finish writing them.

With humor, heart, and poetic warmth, Where the Summer Lives is a celebration of books, belonging, and the kind of love that travels well - like a message in a bottle across the tides.
