(4) YA An eerie mysticism runs through this ambitious, sometimes confounding novel about the summer that Wim, a grieving Cape Cod teenager, learns the dark secret of her ancestors. A large cast of characters (including Wim's family, two New Zealanders of Maori ancestry, an ailing great-aunt, and a nineteenth-century sailor) makes for a crowded plot, but the book's intriguing theme (truth transcends time and place) captivates.
