A review by earlyandalone
Cape May by Chip Cheek

This is the quintessential vacation read, even if you're not on the beach (I read it on a trip to Bloomington, Indiana!). Just like the characters, you lose all sense of time as you sink into the boozy, sexy, and heady honeymoon of Henry and Effie, high school sweethearts. This is definitely not a novel for the prudish or faint-of-heart--it's every bit as steamy as they say, but beautifully-written and evocative of a bygone era.
