In this compelling companion volume to her acclaimed memoir "Home
Before Dark, " Susan Cheever once again gives readers a revealing
look into her famous family, whose secrets and eccentricities
parallel their genius and successes. Set against the backdrop of
Treetops, the New Hampshire family retreat where the Cheevers still
summer, and going back several generations, this powerful
remembrance focuses on Susan Cheever's mother's family, and
includes portraits of her great-grandfather, Thomas Watson, who
invented the telephone with Alexander Graham Bell, and her
grandfather Milton Winternitz, a brilliant doctor who built Yale
Medical School. And of course there is her beloved and talented
father John Cheever, the accomplished author who became one of the
most well-known writers of the century, often using his family as
material. Perhaps most riveting about Susan Cheever's second
biographical masterpiece is its exploration of the lives of the
Cheever women. At once a unique family portrait and the tale of
every family, "Treetops" draws us effortlessly into a fascinating
yet endearingly familiar world.
