This is a novel that speaks for the rich and
invaluable experience gained through every-
day living, for the many rewards and assets
accumulated along the way. It is an affirma-
tion of life in all its stages, despite all its
painful times.
Alice Gilman, a widow just past seventy, is
spending the summer alone in a cottage on an
island off the New England coast. Her son,
Philip, his wife, and their three young
daughters occupy a home just up the beach.
Another granddaughter, child of Alice s
daughter, visits for a few weeks with her
grandmother at the cottage. Later, Alice s
daughter and her family and Philip s two sons
of a previous marriage come to the island. It is
the first time that the entire family, ordinarily
separated by great distance, is together.
As Alice watches her family relate to one
another, form new attachments, renew old
relationships, sort out their current crises, she
reflects on her past with appreciation and
gratitude, reliving it with excitement through
the good and difficu It times, recalling her own
nloments of crisis to see exactly how her ex-
perience was survived and added a new di-
mension to her life. She considers the present,
observing her children and grandchildren
with intense interest, some concern, and
much joy; and she looks to her own future and
theirs with eager anticipation.
