A classic novel of a young man in love with women, the world, and love itself The dunes of Jerry Engels?s childhood are those of Indiana Shores, a small slice of paradise resting between Gary and the industrial furnaces of Chicago. Jerry loves Lake Michigan and swimming its waters; he loves the beach and the live dune where he plays. But mostly, Jerry loves women. ? This isn?t the awkward lust of an adolescent; Jerry is a boy who loves women and everything about them: a flower tucked into the hair, or the length of a leg. Teenage Jerry is a charmer, a flirt, ?an erotic pantheist or a pantheistic eroticist.? Always, in his honesty and quirkiness, he is an irresistible and lovable character, himself. When he falls for Rosalind, his love takes on new, humorous, and wondrous dimensions. ? At the Shores celebrates love in all of its forms; it is a coming-of-age novel for all generations.
