    A year after the death of her husband, Emily Maxwell gathers her family at Lake Chautauqua for what will be a last holiday at their summer cottage. Joining her is her sister-in-law Arlene, silently mourning both the loss of the lake house and a bygone love affair. Emily's firebrand daughter Meg, a recovering alcoholic recently separated from her husband, brings her children from Detroit. Emily's son Ken, who has quit his job and mortgaged his future to pursue his art, comes accompanied by his children and his wife, who is secretly heartened to be visiting the house for the last time. Memories of past summers resurface, old rivalries flare up and love is rekindled and born anew, resulting in a timeless novel that 'succeeds beautifully [and] showcases some of the finest character studies a contemporary reader could ask for' (Boston Globe).

    Ein Neuanfang am Lebensabend.Die Witwe Emily Maxwell führt in ihrem schönen, überschaubaren Routine-Universum ein ziemlich unspektakuläres Leben, allein mit ihrem Hund. Ab und zu trifft sie sich mit ihrer Schwägerin zum Essen, aber das ist es dann auch schon. Als diese bei einem gemeinsamen Frühstück zusammenbricht und ins Krankenhaus muss, ist Emily mit einem Mal ganz auf sich allein gestellt. Doch statt zu verzagen, kauft sie sich ein kleines Auto. Und sie lernt, die bislang noch nie erfahrene Unabhängigkeit in vollen Zügen zu genießen.
