Toby Maytree first sees Lou Bigelow on her bicycle in postwar
Provincetown, Massachusetts. Her laughter and loveliness catch his
breath. Maytree is a Provincetown native, an educated poet of
thirty. As he courts Lou, just out of college, her stillness draws
him. Hands-off, he hides his serious wooing, and idly shows her his
poems.
In spare, elegant prose, Dillard traces the Maytrees' decades of
loving and longing. They live cheaply among the nonconformist
artists and writers that the bare tip of Cape Cod attracts. When
their son Petie appears, their innocent Bohemian friend Deary helps
care for him. But years later it is Deary who causes the town to
talk.
In this moving novel, Dillard intimately depicts willed bonds of
loyalty, friendship, and abiding love. She presents nature's
vastness and nearness. Warm and hopeful, The Maytrees is the
surprising capstone of Dillard's original body of work.
