About The Book

Lightly drawing on Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, the acclaimed author of Hemingway's Suitcase sets his story against the eccentricities and decadences of a wealthy California beach community.

At the center is a rich widower who counted his late wife among his most valuable possessions. Harry hopes to possess his new, powerfully sexual housekeeper, but finally encounters his own complicated fate.
