Back cover:
As summer begins on Osprey Island, preparations at the Lodge--the island's one and only hotel--are under way for the busy season. On maintenance and housekeeping there's Lance and Lorna Squire, Osprey locals and raging drinkers, and their irrepressible son, Squee. There are college boys to wait tables and Irish girls to clean rooms. And a few unusual returnees, too: Suzy Chizek, single mom and daughter of the Lodge's owners, who's looking for a parentally funded vacation, and Roddy Jacobs, another former local, who has come back after a mysterious twenty-year absence.
But when tradegy strikes, dark secrets explode, dividing the island community over the fate of a young boy suddenly more vulnerable to his violent father than ever. In the uniquely ephemeral atmosphere of a summer resort, Thisbe Nissen unfolds, with characteristic warmth and charm, an ever-deepening story of lost loves and found romance, of loyalties and betrayal, and of lingering sadness and fleeting joy.
