A town on the brink of a glamourous future. A marriage drifting apart. A life on the edge of ***what is* and *what could be*...** **Montauk, Long Island, 1938** For three months, this humble fishing village serves as the playground for New York City's wealthy elite. For Beatrice Bordeaux, a college-educated farm girl from rural Pennsylvania, her focus is reconnecting with her banker husband, Harry. Instead, she's spending twelve weeks sequestered with other high-society wives at the Montauk Manor--a two-hundred-room seaside hotel--while her husband dallies in his "extracurricular activities." As Bea drifts further from the Manhattanites and toward Montauk's natural beauty and community spirit, she finds herself drawn to a man nothing like her husband. But moments like these can be fleeting when fate conspires to tear worlds apart. This description comes from the publisher.
