Summary | For ten summers, all three generations of the Seton family met at their country home in New England to spend a week together playing tennis, badminton, and golf, and savoring gin and tonics on the wraparound porch to celebrate the end of the season. In the eleventh summer, a horrible accident involving a hunting rifle with a single cartridge left in the chamber tests the values that unite the family -- and the convictions that just may pull it apart. |
