85 Rochdale Road

Forty miles north of New York, at 85 Rochdale Road, there sits a tiny cottage, in a utopian summer community, where Sam Teres spent his summers, far from home and family back in the Bronx. Owned by his maiden aunt, the cottage is the scene of a life-imprinting drama of love and loneliness, of fathers and sons, of passion, work and money. A psychological and autobiographic novel, 85 Rochdale Road is Sam's quest as he seeks to unravel the labyrinth of his youth, and comprehend what really happened, living between two different families that inhabited two different worlds.
