Women's Fiction Historical
"Nick and her cousin, Helena, have grown up sharing sultry
summer heat, sunbleached boat docks, and midnight gin
parties on Martha's Vineyard in a glorious old family
estate
known as Tiger House. In the days following the end of the
Second World War, the world seems to offer itself up, and
the two women are on the cusp of their 'real lives':
Helena
is off to Hollywood and a new marriage, while Nick is
heading for a reunion with her own young husband, Hughes,
about to return from the war. Soon the gilt begins to crack.
Helena's husband is not the man he seemed to be, and Hughes
has returned from the war distant, his inner light curtained
over. On the brink of the 1960s, back at Tiger House, Nick
and Helena--with their children, Daisy and Ed--try to
recapture that sense of possibility. But when Daisy and Ed
discover the victim of a brutal murder, the intrusion of
violence causes everything to unravel. The members of the
family spin out of their prescribed orbits, secrets come to
light, and nothing about their lives will ever be the same.
Brilliantly told from five points of view, with a magical
elegance and suspenseful dark longing, Tigers in Red Weather
is an unforgettable debut novel from a writer of
extraordinary insight and accomplishment"--
