It the summer of 1976 in this work of fiction, and Frank and Laura travel down south to a cottage by the sea as their son Toby lays bare all that he sees. It is the summer Frank is called away and Laura meets a man in the street. It is a summer of fragile lives, uncertain times, loss and longing, secrets that can destroy, and a time when one phone call changes a marriage forever.
I enjoyed this book and the summer of change! Loved the one line: I felt like I had stirred up the leaves at the bottom of the pool. Tom was a smart young character.
