Opis

A novel that explores the extremes of abandonment and passion and tracks the conflicts between individual desire and societal expectations. In 1980 during a vacation on an island off of Cape Cod, 16-year-old Kaia is drawn into a maelstrom of family secrets and dysfunction, and she turns to her older cousin, Mark, for companionship. Despite his misgivings, Mark is irresistibly attracted to Kaia, and when he arrives in Berkeley, where Kaia lives, the two are drawn into a profound but imprudent love. "The characters and their choices come alive as dynamic and complicated in this involving story about desire and the intricate secrets of families. The issues of Kaia's finding herself, despite her father's iron fist and Mark's at times suffocating love, speak to the tricky navigations of the heart as well as the delicate balance of individuality and interdependence. . . . A feast of romantic entanglements that tests the odds."-Kirkus Reviews "Boundaries: A Love Story will have you torn between lingering over the beautifully crafted prose and rushing ahead to discover how several absorbing questions are resolved. The story of Kaia and Mark and the difficult decisions they face will lead you to think about the novel long after you've read the last page." -Susan Samuels Drake, Author, Fields of Courage and Wandering Amazed "Intriguing and touching, a beautiful story." -Bharti Kirchner, Author, Darjeeling and Tulip Season: A Mitra Basu Mystery About the Author: Christine Z.
