Descriere magazin:
Although they couldn\'t have had more disparate childhoods--Jim grew up on a struggling Michigan farm while Frankie lived in a Manhattan town house and an English country estate--their shared summer rituals have them falling in love before the reader\'s eyes. To Sterba, his beloved\'s cabin is an enchanted castle by the sea, and like its fairy-tale prototype, Frankie\'s place imposes mysterious laws and rituals, which the aspirant must master before he is deemed an acceptable consort. His prize is, indeed, a woman of daunting attributes: \'She was blond, tall, beautiful, smart, famous, and scary.\' -The Los Angeles Times Book Review A Tracy-Hepburn romance in which a down-to-earth newspaperman charms a New York sophisticate and brings her down a notch, while she teaches him a thing or two. Frankie\'s Place, A Love Story, is a portrait of a place and a marriage. It\'s about a sophisticated, blond New York City intellectual who falls for a Michigan farm boy turned foreign correspondent. Every year after the long Manhattan winter, Frances FitzGerald, author of the Pulitzer Prize winning Fire in the Lake, heads north to Mount Desert Island to spend the summer writing. Her simple cottage looks over a cove, part of Somes Sound, which is full of sailboats and lobster buoys. People come to visit and one year Jim Sterba, an acquaintance, comes to for a week, and then the next year it\'s two, until gradually he becomes a fixture in her life for the whole summer. The story chronicles one particular summer that Jim and Frankie are spending at Frankie\'s place, a spot Jim considers the perfect writer\'s retreat. Frankie\'s place couldn\'t be special to me without Frankie. The cozy house, the woods and water, the lovely views and the extraordinary island were part of a stage on which our relationship grew.... Immediately upon arriving, they start the summer with a swim in the icy ocean, and a morning plunge will begin every day thereafter. Sterba charmingly depicts their busy routine in Maine of writing straight through the core of the day, and filling late afternoons-at four o\'clock all work stopped-then there are arduous hikes, blueberry-picking, mussel-gathering, and scavenging for mushrooms. Wonderful recipes including ingredients from the fruit of their labor appear throughout the book-this is true Yankee cooking with corn roasted fully husked in the oven, and Frankie engaged in the gruesome art of killing the lobster. Jim loves everything quirky, odd,
