Summary:
"On a summer morning in 1926, a young woman alights from a bus in a
Cape Cod village and embarks on an odyssey she cannot foresee.
Chatham is a tiny seacoast town, boasting a main street with a few
shops, a white-spired church, and Chatham School, an elite boys'
academy dedicated to turning boisterous or insolent boys from good
families into dutiful, moral young men." "The school's new art
teacher, Elizabeth Channing, has come from a world barely imaginable
by the townspeople of Chatham to live in a small cottage beside Black
Pond. She has spent her life traveling with her father, educated by
him in the plazas of Madrid, along the canals of Venice, in the
apartment overlooking Rome's Spanish Steps where John Keats died.
Life must be seized, the passion of the artist must be served, morals
are a restraint to the spirit - these are the lessons her father
taught her. These are the lessons that will bring catastrophe to
Elizabeth Channing, to the Chatham School headmaster's young son, and
to Chatham itself."--BOOK JACKET.
