"The House on the Island" is a fascinating story of hidden secrets, irreparable decisions, and enduring love stories. In the summer of 1936, a simple word, "no," will haunt Kitty Milton and her family for the rest of their lives. Kitty and her husband Ogden belong to the Miltons, a powerful New York lineage that spends summers in their mansion on Crockett Island. In that privileged corner, parties, love stories, and confidences follow one another. But it is also the scene of a tragedy and an impossible love silenced for decades. On a night in 1959, the secrets of the past come to light and alter the idyllic family environment of the Miltons forever. Can our family past mark all our vital decisions?
