Town & Country has put together a shelf for the tennis set: thirty books, they say, with the beach read set aside in favor of something courtside. It's a fitting notion here, where a match at any of the island's clubs is as likely to end with a chapter as a cocktail. The list is built for that particular pause — between sets, or on the walk back from the courts — when something worth reading matters more than something merely worth carrying.

The American Set on film — also on Instagram.

With reporting from Town & Country.
