But Louise hopes that the coming summer days in an idyllic place will dispel all the problems and life will get better again. But returning to her beloved home only makes things worse. Her father, a former judge and a pillar of local society, suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Her always elegant mother pretends that everything is fine. And her husband, who remained in New York, hardly gives any sign of himself. And yet Louise hopes to find lost peace in these summer months. And not far from the old house by the sea, in a small squalid apartment, Christie is trying to start a new life, having just lost her mother and learned the truth about her origins. In the old cozy house, which has always been a real family nest, tension gradually thickens, which can turn into drama or, on the contrary, untie all the knots, freeing from emotional burden.
"The House Where Summer Lives" is a cozy novel with an atmosphere of summer relaxation about family, about closeness, about how to take responsibility without turning it into a heavy burden. An ideal "vacation read", in which there is a great story, and dramatic collisions, and emotions, and a summer mood, and light irony.
