Osprey Island

As summer begins on Osprey Island preparations at the Lodge -- the islands one and only hotel are underway for the busy season. On maintenance and housekeeping theres Lance and Lorna Squire Osprey locals and raging drinkers; and their irrepressible son Squee. There are college boys to wait tables and Irish girls to clean rooms. And a few unusual returnees too: Suzy Chizek single mom and daughter of the Lodges owners whos looking for a parentally funded vacation; and Roddy Jacobs another former local who has come back after a mysterious twenty-year absence. But when tragedy strikes dark secrets explode dividing the island community over the fate of a young boy suddenly more vulnerable to his violent father than ever. In the uniquely ephemeral atmosphere of a summer resort Thisbe Nissen unfolds with charecteristic warmth and charm an ever-deepening story of lost loves and found romance of loyalties and betrayals; and of lingeringsometimes fleetingjoy.
