"Return to Gone-Away" by Elizabeth Enright is a novel written in the early 1960s. This charming story follows the Blake family, particularly the enthusiastic siblings Portia and Foster, as they embark on a journey to reclaim and renovate their new home—the Villa Caprice—and reconnect with the enchanting memories of a place known as Gone-Away Lake, which they had discovered in a previous adventure. The opening of the book captures the excitement of
the Blake family the moment they learn about their purchase of the Villa Caprice. Portia and Foster's eagerness is palpable as they imagine the possibilities awaiting them in the old house, filled with forgotten treasures and adventure. As they prepare for their trip, their anticipation only grows, hinting at the magical discoveries that await them at Gone-Away Lake, including reuniting with their eccentric neighbors, the Cheever siblings, and exploring the wonders left in the dilapidated houses by the once-thriving community. The narrative sets a cozy and whimsical tone, inviting readers to join in the Blake family's journey of exploration, renovation, and the joy of childhood memories.
