Cold Spring Harbor (by Richard Yates)
About This Novel
"Cold Spring Harbor" tells the story of two families who unexpectedly meet and become intertwined under the shadow of the times. A broken down car made the young and handsome but confused Evan and the sensitive and delicate Rachel meet and fall in love, which also pulled the shadows of their respective families into a whirlpool. The Shepard family and the Drake family tried to start a life in the seemingly peaceful town of Cold Spring Harbor, but they quietly exposed their inner fantasies and cracks. The tug-of-war between ideals and reality, the alternation of passion and disappointment, along with the slow tide of fate, push everyone to the edge of emotion. With his signature calm style, Yates meticulously presents the process of ordinary post-war American families pursuing happiness but having to face disillusionment, profoundly revealing the endless sadness and tenderness contained in life's trivial daily life and the entanglement of fate.
