The peacock feast / by Lisa Gornick.
June, 1916. Louis C. Tiffany, the eccentric glass genius, dynamites the breakwater at his fantastical Oyster Bay mansion, so as to foil the town from reclaiming the beach for public use. The explosion shakes the apple crate where Prudence, the daughter of Tiffany's prized gardener, is sleeping and the rocks where Randall, her brother, is playing. Nearly a century later Prudence receives an unexpected visit at her New York apartment from Grace, a hospice nurse and the granddaughter of Randall, who Prudence never saw again after he left at age fourteen for California. The mementos Grace carries from her grandfather's house stir Prudence's long-repressed memories and bring her to a new understanding of the choices she made in work and love, and what she faces now in her final days. -- adapted from publisher info
