內容簡介: |
On Smuttynose Island, off the coast of New Hampshire, more
than a century ago, two Norwegian immigrant women were brutally
murdered. A third woman survived by hiding in a cave until dawn. In
1995, Jean, a photographer, is sent on an assignment to shoot a
photo essay about the legendary crime. Taking her extended family
with her, Jean stays in a sailboat anchored off the coast, and
finds herself gradually becoming more and more engrossed in the
bay''s mysterious and gruesome past. Wandering into a library one
day, she unearths letters written by Maren, the sole survivor of
the murder spree. Jean''s fear of losing all that she cares about is
reflected in Maren''s poignant tale of love and loss, and her
obsession with the ancient story drives her to wild impulsive
action - with unrecoverable consequences.
