Product Information

In the summer of 1963 I fell in love and my father drowned.... So begins this sweet, ominous new novel by Charles Simmons. Set against an idyllic landscape of water, sand, and sky, it recounts in exquisite detail the momentous events of a boy's 16th summer that reveal to him the dark facts of adult passion. On Bone Point, an island off the New England coast, the boy's long, lazy days of boating and swimming are sharpened by a growing awareness of his charismatic father's infidelities. Add to this the presence of a flirtatious middle-aged woman and her beautiful 20-year-old daughter, who have rented the guesthouse, and the tale is set in motion. This tautly constructed novel is both startling and haunting-an irresistible story of memory, desire, and suspense.

Reviews From: Booklist Kirkus Reviews Attributing his inspiration to the Turgenev tale "First Love," Simmons has written a riveting story of youthful innocence consumed by betrayal. Remarkably enthralling and agonizingly revealing, Simmons's narrative portrays 15-year-old Michael's tender emotions during a summer at the beach. At his masterful best when rendering the close relationship between the boy and his father, Simmons nevertheless maneuvers unfalteringly between each of his characters. As a course of events brought about by Zina's headstrong pursuit of pleasure progressively transforms Michael's adoration of his exotic neighbor, the tension generated by Michael's head-over-heels infatuation mounts—while the book's opening line leads like a wick into a powder keg of unexpected consequences. Simply spellbinding! —Alice Joyce Simmons reappears with a small, coherent, impeccably composed little tragicomedy ... It's the summer of 1963, and 16-year-old Michael is spending it, as usual, with his parents in their splendid old summer house on narrow Bone Point somewhere along the Atlantic coast—Connecticut, perhaps though it isn't said. The summer might have been indistinguishable from any other if the family guesthouse hadn't been rented to the suavely cosmopolitan Mrs. Mertz (from strain of far-back Russian nobility) and her 20-year-old daughter, the beautiful, enticing, and lively Zina—with whom Michael at once falls in love. A simple enough happenstance, and all might have moved forward through a youthful summer or ephemeral (however heartbreaking) romance if Michael hadn't accidentally begun finding out some things about his good-looking father (and unhappy mother) that he hadn't quite caught onto before. His father's overnight business trips back into town have had—for a long time—more than just business as their purpose, and the unhappiness that Michael sees in his jealously-tormented mother begins suddenly making a sense to him as it never did before. Complications ensue of a kind that mustn't be told—this is a little book that needs certain of its secrets intact, though Simmon's opening sentence ("In the summer of 1963 I fell in love and my father drowned") needn't be one of them. How that drowning occurred—and why and when, and what Michael's part in it was, or Zina's—won't be said here, but what must be remarked on is Simmon's way, from the start of summer to end, of carrying the reader along with a limpid clarity and gracefully articulated telling that are pleasures of their own. A little saga of adolescence that ... is a perfectly cut gem of its kind.
