Synopsis
"Nothing ever changes at Wauregan.âÈë That mystique is the tradition of the idyllic island colony off the shore of Long Island, the comforting tradition that its summer dwellers have lived by for over half a century. But in the summer of 1948, after a world war has claimed countless menâÈ'even those who came homeâÈ'the time has come to deal with historyâÈçs indelible scars. Helen WadsworthâÈçs husband, Arthur, was declared missing in action during an OSS operation in France, but the official explanation was mysteriously nebulous. Now raising a teenage son who longs to know the truth about his father, Helen turns to Frank HartmanâÈ'her husbandâÈçs best friend and his partner on the mission when he disappeared. Frank, however, seems more intent on filling the void in HelenâÈçs life that ArthurâÈçs absence has left. As HelenâÈçs affection for Frank grows, so does her guilt, especially when Peter Gavin, a handsome Marine who was brutally tortured by the Japanese and has returned with a faithful war dog, unexpectedly stirs new desires. With her heart pulled in multiple directions, Helen doesnâÈçt know whom to trustâÈ'especially when a shocking discovery forever alters her perception of both love and war. Part mystery, part love story, and part insiderâÈçs view of a very private world, A Certain Summer resonates in the heart long after the last page is turned.
