Elin Hilderbrand’s short stories and novellas offer shorter visits to the Nantucket world of her full-length novels. The Surfing Lesson (2013) and The Tailgate (2014) were released as standalone e-book novellas between her annual summer novels. Natural Selection appeared in 2024, a decade later.
These shorter works share the same focus on relationships, family, and island life found in Hilderbrand’s novels. They work well for readers who want a quick taste of her style or who are looking for something to read between her longer books. Hilderbrand has sold over 20 million copies of her work overall.
