When Norman Cantwell revisits the tiny New England village of
Wacusset, Massachusetts after an absence of thirty-six years in
order to renew his acquaintance with the woman with whom he was in
love many years before, he begins to reminisce about that earlier
love affair. His thoughts take him back to 1975 when, as the son of
one of the most powerful publishers in the country, he came to
Massachusetts to take over a small, struggling literary press in
Boston. Norman settled in the small seacoast town of Wacusset where
he fell in love with both the town and with one of its inhabitants,
the successful and beautiful literary agent, Sandra Hallowell. The
novel follows Norman's struggles to make his publishing company
profitable while maintaining its literary quality, at the same time
he is trying to maintain a relationship with Sandra, who sends him
a novel written by a new author, a novel which has the potential to
win literary awards as well as to sell. Norman must struggle with
the on and off attention of the peripatetic Sandra, while at the
same time finding himself increasingly attracted to the young
novelist. Unquity is a love story, a story of the adoration of
literature and a story of the Boston and south shore area in the
mid 1970's, written with grace and sensitivity and which is sure to
engage every lover of good literature.
