In twelve stories, many set in his home state of Maine,
Tom DeMarco introduces us to a cast of memorable characters. Among them:
a fashionable grand dame who comes undone at the Rose Festival Boxed Lunch
Social; a boy whose encounter with a beautiful wood sprite connects him
to his dying grandfather; Jasper the handyman, who makes a surprise visit
at his own funeral; and a management consultant who can rescue a huge
corporation but cannot fix his personal life. In the title novella, we
follow the life of a remarkable lawyer and her relationship with a WW1
war hero.
Karen Fisk, writing in the Maine Times of DeMarco's previous
work of fiction, Dark Harbor House, contrasts him
with author Evelyn Waugh. "DeMarco's pen is light, honest but indulgent.
Whereas Waugh seemed to loathe his characters, DeMarco loves his." And
so will you!
