The House on Salt Hay Road

fullDescription

A fireworks factory explodes in a quiet seaside town. In the house on Salt Hay Road, Clay Poole is thrilled by the hole it's blown in everyday life. His older sister, Nancy, is more interested in the striking stranger who appears, dusted with ashes, in the explosion's aftermath. The Pooles—taken in as orphans by their mother's family—can't yet know how the bonds of their makeshift household will be tested and frayed. As their aunt searches for signs from God and their uncle begins an offbeat courtship, they are pulled toward two greater cataclysms: the legendary hurricane of 1938 and the encroaching war.
The House on Salt Hay Road is suffused with a haunting sense of place: salt marshes in the summer, ice boats on the frozen Great South Bay, Fire Island at the height of a storm. A vivid and emotionally resonant debut, it captures the golden light of a vanished time, and the hold that home has on us long after we leave it.

     March 29, 2010
     This unremarkable first novel charts a dissolving family of two parentless children, an uncle full of regret, and a stifled aunt. It's 1937 in rural Long Island, and the inhabitants of Fire Island rush into the streets after the explosion of a nearby fireworks factory. Not long after, an equally strong psychological chemistry erupts: a train from Boston brings the mysterious, charming Robert into 19-year-old orphan Nancy's life. When she impulsively decides to marry him, her choice evokes feelings of betrayal from her aunt, uncle, and younger brother. While Nancy finds disappointment in the big city, her brother, Clayton, goes astray without his sister's guidance; aunt Mavis deals with the husband she separated from years ago; and uncle Roy muses over his only marriage bid, which ended tragically. A rendezvous with history—in the form of the hurricane of 1938—gives this family one last chance at survival. Despite the occasional deft touch, this novel is indistinctive, and the various plot lines fail to resonate with one another on more than superficial levels, leaving it to read much like a workshop project in search of inspiration.
