In a town (supposedly Provincetown) on the Cape, a group of people of musical interests arrive for a little summer activity -- partly out of habit and partly in hope of confronting some circumstance that will alter their lives. Lisa Towers, a singer, is returning for her seventh summer of cabaret mediocrity and romantic disappointment. Henry Martenson, an aging homosexual composer, is to teach summer school and perhaps locate some new love interests. Otto Sonnenfeld is refugee conductor attempting to revive a slumping career and a leftover life. Alfred Weinstock is a promising young composer whose work is to be performed by onnenfeld. -Kirkus Review
