Book description
One sultry summer's day, teenage Nico and her vivacious older
sister Margaret take a boat out on the lake by their family home. But
when Margaret dives in, and doesn't resurface, Nico realizes with
horror that her sister is lost to the watery depths for ever. While
her parents drift toward their own risky consolations, Nico searches
for solace and security in books, art, and - recklessly - in a
fledgling relationship with Margaret's boyfriend. Heartrending and
intense, Goldengrove follows a girl on the cusp of adulthood during a
summer when a death changes her life for ever.
