  • "Nick i jej kuzynka, Helena, spędziły beztroskie dzieciństwo we wspaniałej rodzinnej posiadłości znanej jako Tiger House. Teraz wynajmują wspólnie dom w Bostonie i snują plany na przyszłość. Tuż po zakończeniu drugiej wojny światowej wszystko zdaje się być na wyciagnięcie ręki i obiecywać lepszy, szczęśliwy los. Owdowiała w czasie wojny Helena wyjeżdża do Hollywood, gdzie ma wyjść ponownie za mąż za atrakcyjnego młodego producenta filmowego, a Nick nie może się już doczekać przenosin na Florydę do własnego męża, Hughesa, który niedługo po ich ślubie zaciągnął się do marynarki wojennej. Wkrótce jednak złudzenia zaczynają pryskać. Mąż Heleny nie jest mężczyzną, jakim się wcześniej wydawał: całą uwagę koncentruje na urzeczywistnieniu swojego jedynego, mało realnego życiowego planu i potrzebuje w tym celu pieniędzy Heleny. Hughes natomiast wrócił z wojny chłodny i nieprzystępny, i Nick musi się pogodzić z obojętnością męża. Piętnaście lat później, Nick i Helena wraz z dziećmi wracają do Tiger House. Podczas gdy obie matki starają się odzyskać dawne poczucie nowych możliwości, ich nadzieje zakłóca ponure odkrycie dokonane przez dzieci-- zwłoki ofiary brutalnego zabójstwa. Nagłe wtargnięcie przemocy w pozornie spokojną rzeczywistość Wyspy wydobywa z cienia prywatne problemy wszystkich członków rodziny i sprawia, że kolejne ich sekrety wychodzą na jaw. Bohaterowie zaczynają zbaczać z orbit wyznaczonych im przez codzienność i nic w ich życiu już nigdy nie będzie takie samo."

But when Daisy and Ed discover the victim of a brutal murder, the intrusion of violence causes everything to unravel.

A tremendously accomplished novel that is already garnering serious attention from the literary community."@en
  • ""Nick and her cousin, Helena, have grown up sharing sultry summer heat, sunbleached boat docks, and midnight gin parties on Martha's Vineyard in a glorious old family estate known as Tiger House. In the days following the end of the Second World War, the world seems to offer itself up, and the two women are on the cusp of their 'real lives': Helena is off to Hollywood and a new marriage, while Nick is heading for a reunion with her own young husband, Hughes, about to return from the war. Soon the gilt begins to crack. Helena's husband is not the man he seemed to be, and Hughes has returned from the war distant, his inner light curtained over.
