Summary "Shifting Sands" by Sara Ware Bassett is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of Cape Cod, the story follows Marcia Howe, a young widow living in isolation, who finds her life intertwined with that of Stanley Heath, a stranger who arrives at her home under mysterious circumstances. The narrative presents a mix of romance and intrigue revolving around Marcia, her enigmatic guest, and the cove they inhabit, suggesting themes of community, resilience, and the search for love. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Marcia Howe, who lives a solitary life on a sand spit at Crocker's Cove after the death of her unsteady husband, Jason. The arrival of Stanley Heath, a man who has run aground while operating his boat, disrupts her quiet existence. As Marcia cares for him, the townsfolk speculate about her past and their potential romance, while an intriguing twist comes with Stanley's possession of a leather case filled with gems, hinting at secrets that could complicate their developing relationship. Marcia, with her strong spirit and practical skills, is portrayed as a woman ready to embrace a new chapter in her life, yet haunted by her past and the community's expectations.
