“I’ve always enjoyed Anne Rivers Siddons’ books, but this is her best, maybe the book she was born to write. It’s a double love story, narrated by a woman who has loved both early and late. The story of Lilly and Jon is one of the best stories of adolescent love—its fierceness and sweetness—that I've ever read. There’s also a beautifully drawn picture of Maine dressed in her summer finery…and a few ghosts. Summer is maybe the best time to read this book; if you’ve ever vacationed on the Maine coast (or ever wanted to), this book isn’t just the next best thing, its the real thing. Bravura storytelling.”
Stephen King
Acclaimed novelist Anne Rivers Siddons's new novel is a stunning tale of love and loss.
For as long as she can remember, they were Cam and Lilly--happily married, totally in love with each other, parents of a beautiful family, and partners in life. Then, after decades of marriage, it ended as every great love story does...in loss. After Cam's death, Lilly takes a lone road trip to her and Cam's favorite spot on the remote coast of Maine, the place where they fell in love over and over again, where their ghosts still dance. There, she looks hard to her past--to a first love that ended in tragedy; to falling in love with Cam; to a marriage filled with exuberance, sheer life, and safety-- to try to figure out her future.
It is a journey begun with tender memories and culminating in a revelation that will make Lilly re-evaluate everything she thought was true about her husband and her marriage.
