THE END OF THE POINT

Hilary Huber narrates the story of the privileged Porter family and their summers at Ashaunt Point, on Buzzard’s Bay, in Massachusetts. The story opens in the summer of 1942 and spans 50 years of change and upheaval in the family and their much loved retreat. Huber delivers the story with an obvious respect for Graver’s evocative language and an attachment to the characters and the isolated coast, which is the most prominent and consistent feature in the story. Her pacing, tone, and rhythm engage listeners in the lives of the Porters and their loyal staff as they navigate changes wrought by family and societal dynamics.
