That Old Cape Magic

Richard Russo
3.36/5 (14762 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
Griffin has been tooling around for nearly a year with his father's ashes in the trunk, but his mother is very much alive and not shy about calling on is cell phone. She does so as he drives down to Cape Code, where he and his wife, Joy, will celebrate the marriage of their daughter Laura's best friend. For Griffin this is akin to driving into the past, since he took his childhood summer vacations here, his parents' respite from the hated Midwest. And the Cape is where he and Joy honeymooned, in the course of which they drafted the Great Truro Accord, a plan for their lives together that's now thirty years old and has largely come true. He'd left screenwriting and Los Angeles behind for the sort of New England college his snobby academic parents had always aspired to in vain; they'd moved into an old house full of character; and they'd started a family. Check, check and check. But be careful what you pray for, especially if you manage to achieve it. By the end of this perfectly lovely weekend, the past has so thoroughly swamped the present that the future suddenly hangs in the balance. THAT OLD CAPE MAGIC is a novel of deep introspection and every family feeling imaginable. The storytelling is flawless throughout. Its ending is at once surprising, uplifting and unlike anything this Pulitzer Prize winner has ever written.
