My three novels have a common theme: family secrets and the problems they cause. In each I enjoyed exploring how a story's location might inform its character and plot, setting Vanishing Time in South Carolina's Low Country with its rich history, Little Island at a family Inn on the Maine coast, and Her Sister's Shadow in the sisters' childhood home.

He provides an admirable discussion of genre: his analysis of parody and Menippean satire clarify how to approach works such as this tale that take pleasure in resisting traditional generic classifications, and demonstrates that the tale deliberately invoked its readers' memories of specific grammar school literary assignments, thus becomes a miniaturized synopticon of western learning
