William IV, the 'Sailor King', reigned for just seven years. Rash and impetuous as a young man, he was sent to join the navy by his father, George III, to bring him to order, but he was over promoted at an early age and saw his years of active service marked by a series of calamities. He was also notorious for his mounting debts and his long relationship with the actress Mrs Jordan, with whom he had ten children. Yet, as Roger Knight, one of Britain's foremost naval historians, shows in this concise and perceptive biography, William's bluff, unpolished sailor's manner made him popular with the people. Inheriting the throne amid strikes, riots and the push for parliamentary reform, he helped see the country through the great constitutional crisis of the era. Despite his many flaws, he was perhaps a better king than sailor, leaving the monarchy in a healthier state than when he found it, and enabling the smooth succession of his niece, Victoria.

Alan White's longtime, tomboy nemesis, Barbara Jean, introduces him to her new friend James. The two boys strike up a strong friendship, and they range out on the ocean on many lobster-fishing adventures in James' flat-bottomed boat. A unique triangular bond develops between Alan, James, and Barbara Jean as they transition from Middle School to High school. Alan, as the narrator, struggles to hide the sexual secret he shares with Barbara Jean while maintaining his strong friendship with James who becomes her steady boyfriend. The ocean, lobster fishing, and the cove's gleaming sandy stretch of beach host the larger stage of the story, while the secrets are tucked behind the walls of cellars, patios, and in the blind faith of friends. The truth forces its way into the open air on their last night together on the beach at the end of summer resulting violently in the loss of innocence and trust, and ultimately in a tragic death.
