Book description
From the author of theNew York Times bestselling novelsTHE POSTMISTRESSand THE GUEST BOOK
"Pleasing, intricate...[a] delightful book" --New York Times Book Review
Maisie Thomas spends every summer at Grange House, a hotel on the coast of Maine ruled by the elegant Miss Grange. In 1896, when Maisie turns 17, her visit marks a turning point. On the morning after her arrival, local fishermen make a gruesome discovery: drowned lovers, found clasped in each other's arms. It's only the first in a series of events that casts a shadow over Maisie's summer. As she considers the attentions of two very different young men, Maisie also falls under the gaze of Miss Grange, who begins to tell her disturbing stories of her past.
Rich with the details, customs, and language of the era, Sarah Blake's Grange Houseis a wonderfully atmospheric, page-turning novel of literary suspense and romance.
A Victorian young woman faces the social restrictions of marriage and yearns for something more as she spends her summer at a resort in Maine.
