Writing at the height of her powers, Alice Hoffman tells the story of three generations of a family tormented by love.
John is cool, practical, and thoughtful, the opposite of the dreamy Arlyn. Yet they are strongly attracted to each other, even though their relationship brings them sorrow. Their difficult marriage leads them and their children to a glass house in the Connecticut countryside, the streets of Manhattan, and the blue waters of Long Island Sound.
