- Summary:
- Bridge is a headstrong young women working in her grandfather's boat-building shop when she first meets Henry, a broken veteran of World War I. Caught up in a passion that threatens her independence and pushes her beyond the bounds of her known world, Bridge will be forced to choose between a man who loves her and her brother Luce, whose hunger for risk has drawn him into the dark underworld of the rum-running trade. As Bridge begins to move into her own life, Luce's violent attachment to her spirals out of control. Exquisite in its rendering of place, The Season of Open Water is the story of a family torn apart by the lawlessness of greed, and of instinct and the heart. At the same time it is a breathtaking love story that explores the deep and primitive connections between violence and desire.
