Publisher's Synopsis
1910. The small fishing village of Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Charles Richard Crowningshield, a wealthy plumbing supply heir from Chicago, arrives by train with his family, along with a small army of servants, along with Rosemary Kincaid, their Irish nanny, to spend the summer in their newly purchased home on Juniper Point, a grand house in the Queen Anne style that overlooks the rushing waters of the Woods Hole passage. Arthur Rouse, a Scottish foundryman, has also made the trip to install modern indoor plumbing, the first of its kind in the village.
