Sinopsis
MASON'S RETREAT is a powerful, spellbindingly readable story about a family and a place. In 1936, Edward and Edith Mason return to America after a decade in England, with their two sons Simon and Sebastien. Their destination is an old family estate on the coast of Maryland, known as 'The Retreat'. They plan to revive it, and restore their own diminished fortune. But events take a very different turn, as the house, the beautiful watery landscape, and new and insidious pressures of class tension and sexual desire begin to exert a profound effect on the family and their world. Haunting, compelling, charged with subtle eroticism and a poignant sense of transience, this is a magnificent novel. It propels Tilghman into the ranks of the great American writers. (19961017)

Contraportada
'Tilghman's elegantly sombre novel confirms his reputation as an American Chekhov'
-Esquire
'Brilliantly described...Tilghman writes about this family in collapse with a beautifully judged blend of candour and subtlety'
-Helen Dunmore, The Times
'A superb first novel. Echoes of The Great Gatsby, William Styron's Lie Down in Darkness, O'Neill and Faulkner add further resonance to a novel that stands as a stunning individual achievement'
-Kirkus
'The old and new worlds are intriguingly transposed... Tilghman writes elegantly in long, languid sentences which evoke the Maryland atmosphere in vivid elemental descriptions'
-Michael Arditti, Independent
'Tilghman's novel is distinguished by its strong sense of place and character, and there is a rare degree of warmth and wisdom in the telling'
-Andrew Biswell, Daily Telegraph
