Synopsis: Affairs, pills, and politics collide among the summer houses set in this &“au courant, fine-tuned&” satire of an exclusive New England resort town (Kirkus Reviews). Welcome to Cable Harbor, Maine, a quaint seaside refuge where gossip, vanity, and revenge make for a potent summer cocktail. Meet Marie, a rich middle-aged divorcée hell-bent on getting even with her ex; Arthur and Herbert, Cable Harbor&’s resident gay couple and the happiest marriage in town; Marjorie, wife of the local caterer and an ardent crusader against the corrupt summer vacationers; and Laura, in her twenties and recently fired from a New York publishing house. Cavorting at the beach club, sipping vodka and lemonade, the idle rich while away the days—until the townies declare open warfare and no one&’s secrets are safe. In this debut novel, Donald Bowie captures the craziness that overcomes us all in the summertime.
