Our August Pick: The Gulf of Lions by Caitlin Shetterly

A woman emerging from breast cancer and a husband's betrayal. Two daughters. An open road through France. What follows is a journey through the French Alps, the lavender fields of Provence, and the wild Mediterranean coast — and a reckoning with what it means to truly be alive.

Honest, sensual, and deeply moving, The Gulf of Lions is the kind of novel that stays with you long after the last page. Elin Hilderbrand calls it "deliciously irresistible," and Christina Baker Kline praises Shetterly's "unsparing honesty and grace." August is the perfect month for this one — a sun-drenched, emotionally rich read about survival, womanhood, and the messy, beautiful work of holding a family together. Come ready for a rich conversation.
