Nick Daggett, a Vietnam veteran in his early forties, has returned
to Snow Island to live year-round and run a pirate radio station
from the abandoned mansion. Nora Venable, a lesbian in her
seventies and owner of the decaying mansion, comes to the island
after a fifty-year absence and decides to stay. Ruth Lambert, a
photographer from New York, arrives to see what is left of the old
Snow Inn, which she has inherited from her aunt. This unlikely trio
finds their lives unexpectedly linked after a fire sweeps through
the old mansion. Set in the fall of 1990, as the United States
prepares to go to war in the Persian Gulf, the final volume of the
Snow Island trilogy (after Snow Island and Evening Ferry) brings
together characters from the previous volumes with new arrivals in
a moving conclusion that completes the saga of island life. This
taut tale of love and perseverance evokes the isolation and
connection at the heart of every community.
