Book excerpt: The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls delivers his most intimate novel yet: "An astute portrait of a 30-year marriage, in all its promise and pain…. His honest, heartfelt storytelling—like a cooling breeze off a certain New England shoreline—has never felt fresher" (People). For Griffin, all paths, all memories, converge at Cape Cod. The Cape is where he took his childhood summer vacations, where he and his wife, Joy, honeymooned, where they decided he’d leave his LA screenwriting job to become a college professor, and where they celebrated the marriage of their daughter Laura’s best friend. But when their beloved Laura’s wedding takes place a year later, Griffin is caught between chauffeuring his mother’s and father’s ashes in two urns and contending with Joy and her large, unruly family. Both he and she have also brought dates along. How in the world could this have happened? By turns hilarious, rueful, and uplifting, That Old Cape Magic is a profoundly involving novel about marriage, family, and all the other ties that bind. Look for Richard Russo's new book, Somebody's Fool, coming soon.

Download or read book The Cape House written by Rea Bochner and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rea Bochner bursts onto the literary scene with this unforgettable memoir, a deeply touching story of mothers and daughters, love and loss, the power of holding on to each other and the strength it takes to let go. The Cape House is a story both personal and universal, told with fearless honesty and laugh-out-loud humor. It begins on the day that Bochner's mother, Debbi, tells her that she's received a prognosis of terminal cancer, and has decided to move to the family's beloved summer home in Cape Cod to die. Over the next six weeks, as Debbi deteriorates, Bochner writes the story of her family, and looks back on the winding road she trudged with her mother through addiction, recovery, and redemption. Readers travel with the author from Phoenix, Arizona, to a medieval Dutch castle, to the Old City of Jerusalem, where an array of colorful characters shape her destiny in unexpected ways. Meanwhile, Bochner presents a real-life portrait of a family struggling to stay together, even as their personal journeys threaten to tear them apart. As both a eulogy for and a celebration of an exceptional woman, Rea Bochner writes unflinchingly of the powerful bond between a mother and her daughter. The result is a moving book that carries the readers from tears to laughter, from mourning to triumph. The Cape House is a testament to love as a force of nature, and the journey of one woman to discover herself."This irresistible, spiritual memoir is chock full of irreverence, heart, astonishing insight and laugh-out-loud humor - and not a drop of shmaltz. Altogether a jewel of a book." - Ruchama King Feuerman, author of "In the Courtyard of the Kabbalist""Rea Bochner's The Cape House is a book to read again and again. The poignant memoir of her mother is heartbreaking, hilarious, and impossible to put down. Few writers can handle such themes as family and death with the seamless grace as Bochner does in The Cape House. Even more unbelievable is that this book is a debut. Rea Bochner is a stand-out author who we will surely see more from for many years." - Laura Wieland, author of "The Final Swing""Rea Bochner is a fantastic writer, a marvelous storyteller and a deeply empathetic soul. Read "The Cape House" and be inspired and uplifted. And she's funny!" - Sara Benincasa, author of "Real Artists Have Day Jobs"
Book Synopsis The Outermost House by : Henry Beston
Download or read book The Outermost House written by Henry Beston and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic nature memoir of Cape Cod in the early twentieth century, “written with simplicity, sympathy, and beauty” (New York Herald Tribune). When Henry Beston returned home from World War I, he sought refuge and healing at a house on the outer beach of Cape Cod. He was so taken by the natural beauty of his surroundings that his two-week stay extended into a yearlong solitary adventure. He spent his time trying to capture in words the wonders of the magical landscape he found himself in thrall to. In The Outermost House, Beston chronicles his experiences observing the migrations of seabirds, the rhythms of the tide, the windblown dunes, and the scatter of stars in the changing summer sky. Beston argued: “The world today is sick to its thin blood for the lack of elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water, for air, for the dear earth itself underfoot.” Nearly a century after publication, Beston’s words are more true than ever.

Book Synopsis Historic Restaurants of Cape Code by : Christopher Setterlund
Download or read book Historic Restaurants of Cape Code written by Christopher Setterlund and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the storied Massachusetts eateries that have left an indelible mark on their customers. Author Christopher Setterlund details the history of the iconic establishments of the Cape, still fresh in the memories of patrons, complete with famous recipes. Bill and Thelma’s was hugely popular with students from the 1950s to the 1970s, often packed with locals after sporting events and dances. Starbuck’s Restaurant in Hyannis featured the Chief Justice Warren Burger Burger and the Larry Bird Burger on its menu and boasted of the soup du jour, “We don't know what it is, but we have it every day.” Opinions differ on how the Reno Diner actually got its name, whether from a broken sign or a local appliance company. This fun collection is sure to arouse some fond memories of these old eateries, and perhaps a little hunger too. “Forty chapters—one each for 39 restaurants and another for some recipes—make for a delicious and nostalgic read.” —Barnstable Patriot
