We didn't like to gossip; we loved to gossip.
Did you hear? Most of the time, living on Nantucket comforted us; we felt like Mother Ocean was holding us in the palm of her hand. But sometimes, the island made us restless and irritable. Winter was bad, but spring was worse, because except for a few short weeks, it was indistinguishable from winter. What had T.S. Eliot written?
April is the cruelest month. Gossip was always the most rampant in the spring. It ran like water in a newly thawed brook; it circulated through the air like pollen. We could no sooner refrain from rubbing our swollen itchy eyes.

This sounds like a great summer read. Rumors can be quite dangerous though . . .

That kind of society makes me itch. Maybe because it's always me they are gossiping about.
Sounds like a fun one for reading by the pool:)
