Diana and Karin Talbot were devoted and loving sisters unfortunately in love with the same man. Diana met Theo first and fell head over heels in love with him. Theo was older and a successful chef, while Diana was just beginning to find her way, just beginning to figure out the direction of her career as a painter following college. Then, Diana introduced him to her beloved older sister Karin. The years passed, Theo married Karin, Diana married Oliver, and the four of them spent their summers together in the Talbot family cottage in Truro on Cape Cod. What came to pass was a testament to the strength and durability of true love, and a test of how much one sister is willing to sacrifice for another. The conclusion will both shock and surprise, but also solidify for you the importance of following one's heart and not one's rational mind. Love is not rational. Love is cosmic. A perfect summer read with everything anyone needs to know about what happens when we fail to follow our hearts.
