The Guest Book

Description

An exquisitely written, poignant family saga that illuminates the great divide, the gulf that separates the rich and poor, Black and white, Protestant and Jew. Spanning three generations, The Guest Book deftly examines the life and legacy of one unforgettable family as they navigate the evolving social and political landscapes from Crockett’s Island, their family retreat off the coast of Maine. Sarah Blake masterfully lays bare the memories and mistakes each generation makes while coming to terms with what it means to inherit the past.
