Ethel and Norman Thayer have returned to their summer home in Golden Pond, Maine. Norman is a retired professor, nearing his eightieth birthday with heart palpitations and a failing memory, but he is still tart-tongued and ready for a tête-à-tête with any available challenger. Ethel is ten years younger and the perfect foil for Norman. When their only child visits with her fiancé and his young son, Billy, Norman gains a young companion for the summer. Billy learns from Norman and vice versa, making the Thayers’ 48thsummer at the cottage a memorable one. You don’t want to miss this warm, delightful story.
