Diane B. Saxton’s debut novel PEREGRINE ISLAND, explores
the mysteries behind three generations of women, one
valuable painting, the artist who created it, and those
who would do anything to possess it—even kill. The action takes place on a privately owned island on
Long Island Sound, where prim Winter Peregrine lives with
her fickle, reckless daughter, Elsie, and her sensitive
young granddaughter, Peda. Winter is named for the season
her father preferred because “there were no distractions
then.” But now it’s summer with distractions aplenty,
particularly when two art “experts” suddenly arrive on
the island to examine a beloved family heirloom: an early
20th century waterfront scene by world-famous artist
Simon Crandor. The painting is one of the few privately held Crandors,
and the two experts – along with Crandor’s debonair
grandson, Hamlet – want to determine the piece’s
authenticity. But when they pull the painting from its
frame, they find more than they bargained for – hidden
documents and additional paintings, possibly by Crandor.
Who put them there and why? And who stands to gain and
lose from the discovery of these stunning treasures? In this engrossing literary novel that brings the Sound
to vibrant life, not even a painting can be taken at face
value, “For what you see, or think you see on Peregrine
Island, is seldom what it seems.”
