“Wouldn’t you think the spirit, unshackled at last from so many of the body’s youthful imperatives and bolstered by the wisdom of experience, would finally become ascendant? Wasn’t memory, that bully and oppressor, supposed to become soft and spongy?”
The power of friendship or more specifically of 3 men(Lincoln, Teddy, Mickey) who were scholarship students in 1971 during Vietnam era for which they seemed to have been chasing the same young lady for attention and or love.
They are all now in their mid sixties having a reunion together on Martha's Vineyard.
That girl aka Jacy has been missing for 40 years but the past is not content staying in the past.
The ending for me while a shocker was also a bit of a disappointment.
The white supremacy theory in the current set of world affairs is terrifying yet realistic with immigration and naturalization at the top of the discussion to this very day.
It appears the family of Jacy especially the mother and father have more to say than meets the eye and far more behind the scenes is going on here.
