Summary |
"On his fortieth birthday, Will Pagett receives an unexpeded gift: two weeks at a perfect beach house in Cornwall. Seeking some distance from the married man with whom he's having an affair, he invites his aging mother and father to share his holiday, knowing the sun and sea will be a welcome change for them. But the cottage and the stretch of sand before it seem somehow familiar, and memories of a summer long ago begin to surface." "Thirty-two years earlier: A young married couple and their eight-year-old son begin two idyllic weeks at a beach house in Cornwall. But the sudden arrival of unknown American relatives has devastating consequences, turning what was to be a moment of reconciliation into an act of betrayal that will cast a lengthy shadow."--BOOK JACKET |
