Description
A sun-saturated tale of love and longing unfolds over a single summer at an abandoned Massachusetts camp. When Emily inherits the property just before her fortieth birthday, she and her husband David move in with plans to restore it. Instead, Emily finds herself drifting, grappling with grief and feelings of unfulfilled ambition. As Emily navigates this new chapter, she forms an intense connection with a mysterious young woman named Stella, who is living undetected in one of the cabins. Their relationship expands and contracts over the course of the summer, forcing Emily to confront her relationships, including her marriage, and question everything about herself. This nuanced and seductive read explores the complexities of desire, ambition, and identity, raising questions about the true nature of Stella's presence and her intentions.
