Description
"The Sparking-Eyed Boy searches out the fault lines of adult nostalgia and desire. The achingly intense adolescent summer days that Benson and the sparkling-eyed boy spent together on the shores of the remote St. Mary's River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula are at the emotional center of this memoir. For her, summers meant returning from her home in Detroit to a three-month idyll on much-loved family land, owned for generations, and to a heady culture of teasing, testing local boys. For him, this land is the place where he was born, where he'll later find work, marry, and stay - and she was the one he had loved."--BOOK JACKET.
