Title Description
The New York Times has called Anne Rivers Siddons "a masterful storyteller." And this latest in a string of bestsellers is her most lyrical and intensely felt novel yet. Molly Bell Redwine is a well-born Atlantan devoted to one thing: her family. But her family suddenly crumbles: her domineering mother dies, and her husband of twenty years quits her for another woman. Shell-shocked, Molly leaves her hometown for Martha's Vineyard, to visit friends and regroup. There, in a rented cottage on a remote up-island pond, Molly comes to know her bitter, aging landlady and her estranged, ailing son. Through their turbulent relationship, Molly will learn to embrace a new and satisfying definition of something she's misunderstood for a long time -- what it means to be a family.

"Siddons is surely a master of her craft. The scenes are physically real, the characters alive, and the emotions so deep they overwhelm." (Milwaukee Journal)

A wonderful book in which to lose oneself and seek some personal peace and healing. Siddons is a delight once again, and the reader does this book justice. Made me want to go the Vineyard immediately. Although I still dislike swans for what they do to native wildfowl, this book reminded me of their beauty.
