Description
The man stood still, looking at the weather beaten house, not really aware that the sea was over his ankles, and that his forty-five dollar Gucci loafers were full of sand and salt water.
He was fifteen years old again. His name was Hermie, and he was desperately, fiercely in love. She was an older woman-twenty- two, at least gentle and kind, beautiful beyond dreams. And she was married.
The house was her house, so well remembered that he could recreate it in his mind nail by nail. Dorothy. I love you. Dorothy.
Nothing from the first moment Hermie saw her, and no one who had ever happened to him since, had ever been as frightening and as confusing, had made him feel more sure, more insecure, more important, and less significant.
SUMMER OF '42 is the story of Hermie and the lovely Dorothy, of Hermie's frantic efforts to become a man, and of his glorious and heartbreaking initiation into sex.
