The Miltons are a powerful old New York family - the kind of family that used to run the world.
And in 1935  they still do. Kitty and Ogden Milton seem to have it all: an elegant apartment on
the Upper East Side  two beautiful little boys  a love everyone envies. When a tragedy befalls
them  Ogden comforts Kitty the only way he knows how - they go sailing  picnic on a small
island off the coast of Maine  and buy it. For generations the Miltons of Crockett Island revel
in a place that is entirely their own. But it's 1959  and the world is changing: Ogden's firm
hire a Jewish man  Len Levy  who earns the admiration of not only his boss  but his boss's
beautiful young daughter. When Len and his friend visit the island  the Milton's principles and
prejudices are challenged like never before. At the dawn of the 21st century  the family money
has run dry  and the island is up for sale. Returning for one last visit  Kitty's granddaughter
uncovers disturbing evidence about her family's wealth - and realizes she is on the verge of
finally understanding the silences that seemed to hover just below the surface of her family
all her life.'Thought-provoking and propulsive...Welcome to old money  new heartbreak and big
secrets' New York Times Book Review
