Nick and her cousin Helena grew up in a world of sun bleached boat
docks, tennis whites, and midnight gin parties at Tiger House, the
family home on Martha's Vineyard. In the wake of the Second World
War, the two women are on the cusp of starting their "real lives":
Helena is off to Hollywood and a new marriage to the charismatic
Avery Lewis, while Nick is heading for a reunion with her own
husband, Hughes Derringer, about to return from the war. The world
seems rife with possibility.
The gilt soon begins to crack. Avery is not the man he seems to be,
and Hughes has grown distant, his inner light curtained over. On
the brink of the 1960s, Nick and Helena-with their children Daisy
and Ed-try to recapture that earlier sense of possibility. But then
Daisy and Ed discover something truly awful, and the dark thread of
the family's history slowly starts to unravel. The secrets and lies
that each member thought long buried begin to surface.
Brilliantly told with the tempestuous elegance of F. Scott
Fitzgerald and the suspenseful dark longing of Patricia Highsmith,
"Tigers in Red Weather" is an almost unbearably compelling story of
liars, lust, and secrets. It heralds the arrival of a fierce
literary talent.
