Description
At twenty-nine, Sydney has already endured divorce and widowhood, seeking stability through a summer tutoring position at an oceanfront New Hampshire cottage. When the family's two grown sons arrive, she becomes entangled in a web of family tensions and sibling rivalry that threatens the fragile life she has carefully rebuilt. As Ben and Jeff compete for her affections, Sydney must navigate the dangerous intersection of desire, loyalty, and self-preservation. With her signature lyrical prose and penetrating emotional insight, Anita Shreve crafts a compelling exploration of how love and family can both sustain and destroy us. This is a novel about the courage it takes to open one's heart again, even when the cost may be everything.
