A novel exploring "Georgia O'Keeffe, her love affair with photographer Alfred Stieglitz, and her quest to become an independent artist"--Dust jacket flap.

In the third novel from the acclaimed author of" Moon Tide" and "The Season of Open Water," a simple board game offers the link that can finally untangle two families' tragic pasts.

From the critically acclaimed author of Moon Tide comes a mesmerizing novel of love and violence, family and betrayal - the passionate, searing story of a young woman coming of age in a New England seacoast town that is swept up in the dangerous trade of rum-running during Prohibition. Exquisitely written, haunting in its rendering of place, The Season of Open Water explores the often inescapable connections between violence and desire.

A debut novel, set in a small fishing town on the Massachusetts coast, chronicles the lives of three very different women--Eve, a beautiful artist; her wealthy, eccentric grandmother, Elizabeth; and Maggie, an exotic stranger involved with a ruthless rum smuggler--from 1913 to the Great New England Hurricane of 1938. A first novel. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.
