Synopsis

The smell of sunshine on sweet water permeates these stories, all set in Michigan's Lake Country. There's a heightened sense of life that comes with being located amidst such natural beauty, and in Cool Front, Deborah Ann Percy artfully plays that sense of location off the shadowy uncertainties of human relationships. --Stuart Dybek, MacArthur Fellow, author of I Sailed with Magellan

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

With the lightest of touches, Deborah Ann Percy reaches into the darkest of places. Set against the unpredictability of Lake Michigan, the four short stories of Cool Front show us the unpredictability of men, women, children. Sand, water, sky are the elements here, edgy is the writing, perfect pitch the dialogue. --Alicia Ostriker, twice National Book Award finalist, author of No Heaven
