Nearly supernatural in reach,The Skating Pondis a treasurehouse of emotion: the narrator, Elizabeth, is a headstrong, half-wild girl whose story, set on the rough coast of rural Maine, is hewn from terrible family tragedy and intense sexual passion. Orphaned at the age of 15, when her mother dies as a result of a skating accident and her father kills himself after abandoning the family, Elizabeth is left to raise herself. She becomes embroiled in an affair of such ferocity and ardor that she remains haunted by her much older and sometimes cruel lover, even after he has left her.
