We own the book and the audiobook. I listened to it and really enjoyed it. Frankie (a she) Rowley has been doing relief work in Africa for the past 15 years. She comes home to New Hampshire occasionally. Now that visit will be to their former summer home which is now a permanent home. This town is heavy with summer people who return year after year to their homes. When Frankie returns she is feeling that she doesn't belong anywhere. Her parents aren't doing well. Her dad is suffering from some dementia and tends to wander at night. Her mom is no longer in love with her husband but at the moment she is stuck. The first night that Frankie is there a summer home is torched. And then another and another. At first it seems to be done to homes where no one is there - but that eventually changes. It begins to drive more of a wedge between the summer people and the permanent residents. This book didn't get great reviews but I was entertained - and that is what it is all about for me!
