That Old Cape Magic is a novel of deep introspection and every family feeling imaginable, with a middleaged man confronting his parents and their failed marriage, his own troubled one, his daughter's new life and, finally, what it was he thought he wanted and what in fact he has.
The storytelling is flawless throughout, moments of great comedy and even hilarity alternating with others of rueful understanding and heartstopping sadness, and its ending is at once surprising, uplifting and unlike anything this Pulitzer Prize winner has ever written.
