Sarah Moriarty’s stunning debut is a portrait of the circle of relatives scars and faults passed along the generations, brilliantly capturing life at the Maine coastline, where time turns out to stand still while the waters never stop moving.
On an island in Maine, four siblings arrive at their sprawling, old summer place for the Fourth of July. It’s the Willoughbys’ first summer without their parents, and their beloved house is falling apart. When a substantial offer is made at the estate, the two brothers and two sisters are forced to confront issues they had was hoping to keep hidden.
An homage to the layers and limits of the circle of relatives bond, North Haven explores the shifting allegiances between siblings as they contend with their inheritance, the truth of circle of relatives lore, or even the veracity of their very own memories. This lyrical and moving novel delves into the name of the game world that exists between parents, one their children don’t fully bear in mind, much as they’ll think they do.
