Description:
In its front-page review of her first novel, A Handbook for Visitors from Outer Space, the New York Times Book Review called Kathryn Kramer "a storyteller to whom we willingly submit". Her new novel even more enticingly enthralls, as it explores the American way of love via two romantic triangles -- one taking place in the present (a skeptical horsewoman, a passionate biographer, an international businessman) and the other a hundred years ago, at the same Vermont resort hotel.
Expand description
As the plot unfolds, the secrets embedded in the two romances work their way to the surface: newly discovered love letters, addressed a century ago to the original owner of the hotel, a Miss Lucinda Dearborn, not only turn out to be from America's greatest expatriate novelist but also point to Lucinda's unsuspected lifelong affair with another man.
Kathryn Kramer has written a brilliant and spacious novel about the ways in which love can be fueled or destroyed by mystery, about the distances between men and women them is engendered.
