Summary:
"Novel charts the dramatic changes in the lives of three generations of one remarkable family, and the summer place that both shelters and isolates them. Ashaunt Point, Massachusetts, has anchored life for generations of the Porter family, who summer along its remote, rocky shore. But in 1942, the U.S. Army arrives on the Point, bringing havoc and change. That summer, the two older Porter girls - teenagers Helen and Dossie - run wild. The children's Scottish nurse, Bea, falls in love. And youngest daughter, Janie, is entangled in an incident that cuts the season short and haunts the family for years to come. An unforgettable portrait of one family's journey through the second half of the twentieth century, Elizabeth Graver's "The End of the Point" artfully probes the hairline fractures hidden beneath the surface of our lives and traces the fragile and enduring bonds that connect us."--Publisher.
