The Myth Of Perpetual Summer, although seasoned with a southern flavor, is essentially a story about the long lasting consequences to the children in a family where the parents assume the characteristics of human wrecking balls to the lives of their offspring. One, long absent, sister is forced to return home when another of these adult children reaches a crisis in his life and many unspoken family secrets begin to see the light of day. As the novel unfolds the story of how the siblings (there are four) have each coped with the upheaval in their childhood home is told as all four have escaped in one way or another.
Susan Crandall’s book will be satisfying to all who enjoy a story of family tinged with a bit of southern gothic.
