I've read this book more than once. The old Boston family is very close, and remains close to its roots. Their lives are lived around (and for?) the seriously age-compromised family summer home on Cape Cod. Parts of the story are very sad, but it's a sensitive exploration of one multi-generational family's growing up, having their own problems, overcoming them, learning to know each other better, and finally cooperating to save the pillar of their lives. Sweet.
