East Angels

Evert Winthrop has come south for blue sky; Garda Thorne dreams of frozen lakes, snowstorms, and a fire she has never needed. Beside a shimmering Florida lagoon, each envies the other’s world.

At Gracias-á-Dios, an old southern town of family histories and quiet routines, a northern visitor hopes to escape the long winters that have wearied him. Evert’s easy curiosity meets Garda’s hunger for places beyond the life that keeps her here, while her widowed mother holds fast to their home and its traditions. Then Evert hints he may buy a place outside town, and Mrs. Thorne’s bright eyes turn guarded: a desirable old Spanish mansion could be within reach. What might a newcomer’s purchase set in motion in this settled household?
