Review

There are plenty of estate planning guides for those who want to crunch the numbers. But only Judy Balfe is bold enough to investigate the emotional strains that inheriting--and juggling--a summer house can place on families. -- Jay Akasie, FORBES (6/99)

This book is a tale of summertimes and their green paradises. Balfe introduces us to the playing...and the rituals...through which relatives are attracted to the same place year in, year out...Balfe's subtle description of familial loves and rivalries is embedded in the best intellectual tradition of classical theorists...This analytical as well as stylistic masterpiece illustrates the merits of a true interdisciplinary approach. -- Remi Clignet, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Maryland
