Together the group breaks into abandoned summer homes, sails, walks naked under the stars and makes love all while devouring gin. They are both just out of high school, shy and virginal–but that ends quickly once they meet their glamorous neighbors, Clara, Max and Alma, who sweep the southerners into a whirlwind bacchanalia that left them–and me–spinning. Set in 1957, newlyweds Henry and Effie take the train from Georgia to the New Jersey coast for their honeymoon.
