Little Monsters by Adrienne Brodeur
While this novel is first and foremost about family secrets, it is also a love letter to Cape Cod. Brodeur is exquisite in her descriptions of the Cape, especially during the region's quiet off season, and she has firmly rooted each character in the Cape's waterways, woods, and beaches. Don't be surprised if you hear whales singing or end up shaking sand from your feet while reading.
