As lyrical as a sonata, Ayelet Waldman's follow-up novel to
Love and Other Impossible Pursuits explores the aftermath of
a family tragedy. Set on the coast of Maine over the course of four summers,
Red Hook Road tells the story of two families, the Tetherlys
and the Copakens, and of the ways in which their lives are
unraveled and stitched together by misfortune, by good
intentions and failure, and by love and calamity. A marriage collapses under the strain of a daughter's death;
two bereaved siblings find comfort in one another; and an
adopted young girl breathes new life into her family with
her prodigious talent for the violin. As she writes with
obvious affection for these unforgettable characters, Ayelet
