Description

Cape May is a powerful and devastating exploration of young love, desire, and the lifelong ramifications of choices made in an instant. In 1957, Henry and Effie, newlyweds from Georgia, arrive in Cape May, New Jersey, for their honeymoon, only to discover that everyday married life might be disappointingly different from their happily-ever-after fantasy.

As they navigate the empty beach town, they become embroiled in a decadent and glamorous world of socialites, wealthy playboys, and mysterious half-sisters. With its gorgeous, seductive storytelling and martini-dry prose reminiscent of James Salter's finest, this novel is an exquisitely crafted tale of love, desire, and the consequences that follow.
