The Ice Margin
Taking its title from geology, The Ice Margin is a novel of landscape and boundary, both inner and outer. Cape Cod, exquisitely captured in its tides, creatures, vegetation, and weather, becomes a paradigm for both change and stability. Marcia Dalton evokes the inner weather of three generations of women who come from elsewhere to love this particular meeting of land and sea. While the reader s heart goes out to all the women and men of this novel, the reader comes away enriched intellectually as well as emotionally. Marcia Dalton s novel lights the path to a greater understanding of one s own needs and instills the reader with the determination to understand herself and others and to live fully.

A must read for anyone on the Cape but the story was gripping regardless of the geography

Written with a gift of bestowing grace for flawed characters that transcends to the reader. Enjoyed it!!!
